Anybody good with Nudibranchs??

We have one here that looks like that and it's call Gold Lace Nudibranch or Halgerda Terramtuentis.

I saw this one last Monday, but I don't know the name!

Clear & Yellow Nudibranch

At http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet.cfm?base=halgmale the lower photo does look good. Really nice photo.

Quite close to an endemic Hawaiian halgerda terramtuentis, ‘Buckminster Fuller nudibranch’, ‘Gold Lace nudibranch’ 15’- 100’, common in or around caves, to about 2”, ‘covered with ridges and bumps and criss-crossed with an irregular network of gold lines, this nudibranch’s translucent body seems to glow from within. The rhinophores and gills are white, speckled with black.

Thanks Everyone. I think I'm going with the Halgerda malesso since I saw it in Guam, that one is only from Guam, at it looks pretty darn close!! I might have some more Branch in the future for you all

A description (or common name if you will) that sticks out in my head was one a diver gave on a trip to the Solomon Islands. "Marilyn Monroe" in reference to how Chromodoris kunei flaps it's skirt as it moves. Chromodoris kunei isn't the only species to do this, but the name is cute anyway.
I find it easiest to remember genus names and refer to them that way than to "un"common names which change according to who you're talking to. After refering to id books (colemans is a favorite of mine for the indo pacific) you begin to recognize a Halgerda when you see it but may need further reference to distinguish between the many species.

Nice picture!
