Remarks :

According Kathe Jensen " This species has digestive gland branches in the cerata, which will most likely make it a Polybranchia or a Mourgona species. Actually the regular branching pattern of digestive gland shown in your close-up of cerata makes Mourgona more likely, but only dissection to show absence of pharyngeal pouches will definitely separate the 2 genera. Too bad there is no photo of the foot-sole, because Cyerce has a distinct transverse groove in the foor-sole."
    This species looks like Cyerce sp. 3 in NSSI, Nudibranch & Sea Slug Identification, Indo-Pacific, Gosliner, Valdés & Behrens, 2015
    Or may be a variant of Polybranchia orientalis

Bibliographic data :

There is a cluster of more prominent purple spots on top of the head behind the eye spots (non observed on this photo...)
    Greenish-brown branches of the digestive gland can be seen in the bases of the cerata.
    Very young animals have smoother and more cylindrical cerata with more prominent branches of the digestive gland and fewer purple, orange and white spots. Also, the cluster of spots on their heads tends to be reddish-purple.

The rhinophores are long, forked (bifurcated) (a) and transparent with a faint green pattern and small white pustules
