This undescribed species of the genus Dendronotus has characteristic orange rhinophores with black tips, there are brown spots on the translucent body. All other species of this genus are from cold Northern waters, but at Bill Rudman's Sea-Slug Forum are records of this species from warm Indo-Pacific waters. I call it Dendronotus sp. A, to distinguish it from other undescribed Dendronotus sp. These pictures are a video capture, so the resolution is not high.
More informations on Dendronotus sp. A including pictures of it from Malaysia, Bali, and Sulawesi are at Bill Rudman's Sea-Slug Forum!
