Dear Bill
I can't identify this nudibranch. I found it at Similan Island and photo by Dr. Thon Thamrongnawasawat. I don't record date and depth.
Thank you

Dear Narongpon,
I am pretty sure this is a recently named species, Chromodoris hintuanensis, which is known at present from the Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand. Your animal is interesting because it has distinct yellow spots which are not present in other photos I have seen. In other specimens these spots are cream coloured. If you have any other photos of this or similarly coloured animals I would like to see them so we can have a better idea of the colour range of this species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
