Location
Bali, Indonesia
Species name
Hypselodoris infucata

"Clearly the presence of dark purple on the rhinophoral stalks isn’t a consistent character for only Hypselodoris kanga because some of these animals in this batch of Hypselodoris infucata have them too (photos #2380, #131, #1718, #0238). So the shape of the gills and spots on the gills are the best characters to tell them apart."
