Is this a purple spotted sea goddess?

[DamselDoc]

Hello all,

I photographed this on a dive in Key Largo yesterday. It looks like the purple spotted sea goddess (shown on p235 og Humann & Deloach); however the book says that it is not known in Florida. I just wanted to know if I found something special.

Thanks for the help.

Doc, Very nice.
