Tata, a Philippine diveguide at Malapascua island, described an unknown dorid to me in 2003: "It had a pale colour and extensions like towers". There is no dorid looking like Ceratosoma alleni, so after a short look at Mike's shot Tata confirmed my ID. Karin Wessel and Alexander Groeninger wrote that their specimen with a length of 10 cm had extensions of approximately 6 cm. Until now Ceratosoma alleni has been reported only from the Philippine islands.
