Dear Bill,
I think this is Thorunna horologia. However I think that it differs a little in the rhinophores.

Dear Takao,
I am pretty sure this is Thorunna furtiva. It usually has yellow-orange markings, rather than a deep orange like this, but apart from that it fits exactly
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
