Hypselodoris bollandi
A dorid nudibranch with a white dorsum sprinkled with yellow spots. Its mantle is green-margined and sometimes has radiating lines. The rhinophores and gills are tinged with red or deep orange.
I spotted this nudibranch at a depth of 20m during a day dive. It was about 1.2cm long.

Awesome!!
Hi Noe and Pili! There are 3,000+ species of nudibranchs -- and lots of them are very colorful. :)
Wow! nudibranchs seem to have unlimited colors :)
Thanks, PaoloCo! It was at a new dive site off the western coast of Samal Island, Philippines. It's beside the Limao Reef dive site.
Stunning where did u dive to see this?
Thanks, Sam! It was very pretty indeed. :)
Gorgeous!
