Costasiella sp. from Indonesia

From: Ann Clear
Hi Bill,
I took these photos of these tiny nudibranchs, who I found underneath a thick green leaf on a muck dive. They were very small and there was quite a current, hence the not so good photos. Dave Behrens kindly identified them for me as Costasiella kuroshimae, but I thought you might like to see them as there are not many of them on the forum and none from this area.
Locality: Lembeh Straits dive site retack larry, 10 metres, Indonesia, Molucca sea, 13 march 2007, muck dive . Length: 6 mm. Photographer: Ann Clear.
Best regards
Ann Clear

This is a species of Costasiella, but unless they show an incredible amount of colour variation I don't think this is C. kuroshimae. I am calling this one Costasiella sp. 3 on the Forum because I don't think it has a name at present.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
