Thuridilla splendens from the Solomon Ids

Bill,
I found this slug last Sunday at the Bonegi 1 dive site outside of Honiara, Solomon Islands. Is this Thuridilla splendens?

It would have been about 30mm long, and was at about 5meters deep. These fellows are not rare here, although I don't see them often.
Regards
Bruce Potter.
