Hypselodoris infucata is one of a number of species with a bluish background colour, short dark blue lines or spots, and yellow or orange spots. Hypselodoris infucata is characterized by the simple gills, edged in red/brown (1 broad line).
This picture shows a 6 mm juvenile specimen.
I have posted more pictures of it than usual to show some colour variants.
Pretty similar is Hypselodoris kanga which has triangular gills, edged in red/brown (2 thin lines) with a series of yellow spots up the outer face.
