"Though this is an interesting photo taken head on, it makes identification difficult because the rear end of the body is not visible. I suspect it is not a phyllidiid as it appears at first glance, but the discodorid that mimics pink phyllidiid nudibranchs (like Phyllidiella pustulosa), and so it would have a set of dorsal gills at the rear of the body."
