Love nudibranchs. Heading to the Philippines in the New Year & can't wait to see the amazing colored critters there.

I have the book "1001 Nudibranchs" and it looks to me like
Denison's Dendrodoris (Dendrodoris denisoni) pg 86.

Holy cow that's a beatiful photo! Maybe adshepard will poke his head around here, I think he's the ace nudibranch dude on the board.

*Scuba*Princess* nailed the identification. Your nudi, and a very nice one it is, is Dendrodoris denisoni.

Here's the reference on the Sea Slug Forum: http://dev.seaslug.info/factsheet.cfm?base=denddeni

No probs! Great pics.
That 1001 nudibranchs book is amazing. Check it out if you get a chance.
