Identification is verified by Nathalie Yonow, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Nathalie Yonow: I have seen this a number of times from the Red Sea, and think it is one of the several colour forms of Glossodoris cincta. We get two colour forms in the Red Sea, and Nudi Pixel has photos of both.
Thanks to Gary McDonald for suggesting identification for this species
