Bill,
A Happy New Year to you and all visitors of the SEA SLUG FORUM.
Here is one from New Zealand, Poor Knights Is., 10m depth, size about 4cm. It was made by Gerhard Ramsch in 1995.
Please, can you identify it?

Koehler, E., 2000 (Jan 19) Aphelodoris from New Zealand. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/1748Dear Erwin,
I am pretty sure this is Aphelodoris luctuosa which is one of the commonest subtidal dorids in northern New Zealand. There are a number of very similar looking species of Aphelodoris in New Zealand and southern Australia.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
