General Notes
This is a difficult nudibranch to identify. It may be a Marionia but it matches with Tritonia sp 11 in the book Nudibranch & Sea Slug Identification Indo-Pacific 2nd Edition and this is what I have been advised it is by a nudibranch expert. Both Tritonia and Marionia are within the Tritonlidae group so we can safely say this is a Tritonlidae.
