Dear Mike,
You are right to be cautious, some flatworms do look very like nudibranchs, but I have looked carefully at your original photos and I am pretty sure the rhinophores are real. I can see no sign of an anal papilla in the posterior dorsal midline so I suspect your animal is a colour form of the phyllidiid, Fryeria marindica .
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
