Hi Bill,
I'm having a bit of difficulty with this one. It looks a bit like Chromodoris cf. colemani, or Chromodoris quadricolor. I've send two views of the same critter.
Regards,
Marli

Dear Marli,
This is the 'form' I am calling Chromodoris cf. colemani at present. An interesting thing about your photos is the sponge your slug is on. It could be a species of Aplysilla or Dysidea, so it is worth noting as a possible food. Certainly worth looking out for a possible association in the future.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
