cf. is an abbreviation from a Latin word (confer) and means 'refer to'
or 'compare with', here it means it could possibly be Chromodoris africana
or perhaps something closely related, or at least similar in appearance.
There are many similar coloured chromodorids which Bill Rudman calls
the "Chromodoris
quadricolor
colour group". Chromodoris cf. africana can
be distinguished by the marginal orange line of the border of the mantle
and the irregular black lines on the mantle. I think this species is undescribed.
