Dear Bill
I found these nudibranch on a coral reef depth 21 m at Ponta Malongane in Southern Mozambique. Size is 2 cm. I think it could be of the family Flabellinidae. Please help me with an ID
Thanks

I think this is Cuthona sibogae but I would need to look at its anatomy to confirm it. It is probably the same as Valda Fraser's animal from South Africa.
The secondary branch on the left oral tentacle is obviously a developmental abnormality.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
