Below is comment from Dr. Bill Rudman, go to Sea Slug Forum to read more information
Note added 20 June 20007: This is probably a juvenile Dendrodoris carbunculosa [see message # 20053]
Dear Ken,
I feel I should know this species, which could be a mimic of some species of Phyllidia, but I don't recall it. [see mimicry page]. The gills look more like those of a dendrodorid than of Glossodoris or any other chromodorid.
If anyone has any clues please let us know
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
