Phil,
I think your nudibranch is Archidoris montereyensis, which looks similar to Anisodoris nobilis but the plume is yellow and the black marking are on the turbercles. A. nobilis has a white plume as you mentioned and the black is on the body below the turbercles rather than on the tubercles themselves. Check out the photos of A. montereyensis in the Forum.

Thanks Bruce,
I thought it was probably Archidoris montereyensis but wasn't sure whether I was being tricked by a similarly coloured Dendrodoris or Doriopsilla.
best wishes,
Bill Rudman
