It's a Tritonia festiva....they are often found on red gorgonian, much like your pictures shows

I read another dive report from that trip. Sounded like a great time....plus you were lucky enough to have decent weather!

thanks ligersandtions, i got to page 6 and thought it was the last one, i guess there were more, on the On-line field guide for fish & nudibranchs. Cool.
