The spots are somewhat elongated but otherwise characters fit G. cruenta.Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #11182
The pinkish body is a bit unusual, but the other characters are normal.Comment from Gary McDonald on photo #69

Glossodoris rubroannulata is quite similar in colour to Glossodoris cruenta which differs in having a row of red spots along the inner edge of the white rather than a thin red line along the outer edge.
