Dear Bill
I think this may be Mexichromis multituberculata. Would be grateful if you could confirm.
Locality: Pomene, 28 m, Mozambique, Indian Ocean, 14 November 2009, Scattered reef. Length: 30 mm. Photographer: Valda Fraser.
A big thank you.

Yes I would call this M. multituberculata. The orange mantle border is more complete than we usually see but I assume it's just part of the variability. This is the furthest south in the Indian Ocean I think it has been found, but since we have records from Reunion Id I guess it was only a matter of time.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
