After looking at a thousand photos on the Species List, my best guess is that this is Discodoris schmeltziana. Or maybe an Archidoris?

Locality: Tasi Tolu, 17 meters, East Timor, Banda Sea, 05 January 2007, sandy, rubble slope. Length: 3-4 cm. Photographer: Brian Francisco.

Thanks for your help.

Dear Brian,
Yes this is Discodoris schmeltziana. Sorry its a bit of a struggle finding things. I have a half-finished key to help you narrow down the field but I am afraid I never seem to get a chance to finish it - even catching up on old messages is proving very difficult.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
