Bill,
Here are some more shots of Chromodoris hintuanensis to go with the others. Repeatedly found in shallows on algae covered rocks and volcanic sand in Bali, Indonesia. Up to 40mm in length.

Thanks Stuart,
I suspect their food sponge must be close by. Perhaps it is one of those sponges that forms a thin layer over the substrate and is partially covered in sand and other debris. or perhaps it is a sponge that incorporates sand grains in its tissue and so looks invisible. It would certainly be useful, next time you see a crowd of them to gently lift a few up and see if they have their mouthparts everted.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
