Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Richard Willan: This small dendronotid nudibranch is characterised by a broad reddish brown band on the head and reddish brown cerata with a pink-purple spot at the summit of each papilla. By contrast, Doto pinnatifida has no markings on the head and more elongate cerata.
