Bill,
Don't know if Terry has answered you or not -- Atsushi's dorid is Hallaxa hileenae Gosliner & Johnson, 1994.

Carlson, C., 2000 (Feb 14) Atsushi's Doris sp.8? is Hallaxa. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/1902Dear Clay,
Thanks for the identification. I looked at Gosliner & Johnson (1994) but I'm afraid I didn't connect their description of H. hileenae with Atsushi's animal. Now that I re-read I can see what they mean by a Y-shaped ridge. It's good to clear up another unknown so quickly.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
