Dear Bill,
We found this, which I think this is Durvellidoris pusilla, on the ceiling of a small cavern.
Locality: South of Phi Phi Island, 15 meter, Thailand, Ademan Sea, 25 January 2009. Length: about 1 cm. Photographer: Reinhold Mueller.
Best regards,
Marcel

Yes this is D. pusilla. As you will have seen on the Noumea purpurea Colour Group Page there are a number of other species which can be confused with this species. Compared with Hugues Flodrops animal, the gills of yours are the typical colour pattern.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
