Chromodoris joshi can be found in the Philippines, Sumatra, the Andaman Sea, and Indonesia. (Encyclopedia of Life) This one was found in Sabang, Puerto Galera, Mindoro Oriental, Philippines
Ardeadoris egretta is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae. It is the type species of the genus Ardeadoris.

Goniobranchus collingwoodi is characterized by a large central reddish / orange-brown patch extending from in front of the rhinophores to just behind the gills. This patch has fine white specks all over. The mantle has a purple border of irregular width. Inside this is a broad white region with many bright yellow spots scattered over the outer half and dark purple spots. The rhinophore stalk is translucent and the club is a dark reddish brown with white specks along the edge of the lamellae and a white tip. The gills are translucent with a dark brown line down the two edges of each of the outer and inner sides.

A few photos from the grounds of the Atlantis Resort and Casino in Nassau, Bahamas. This is a pretty nice place.
Hippocampus bargibanti. Tiny, pinkish with large orange to red warts and spots, encircling bands on the tail. They live solitary or form small groups. Their homes are Sea fans of similar color especially Muricella spp of reefs and slopes in depths of 10-40m. They frequently adapt to the color of the host seafan. (Reef Fish Identification, Allen, Steene, HUmann and Deloach) Sabang, Puerto Galera, Mindoro Oriental, Philippines
When it was first described, the author, Terry Gosliner, mentioned its similarity to a xeniid soft coral and suggested it was probably a defensive camouflage strategy to protect it from predators. Your photos show the similarity to a soft coral with polyps retracted, very well. This animal is a member of the family Chromodorididae which contains some of the most brightly coloured nudibranchs. Most store distasteful chemicals they obtain from their sponge prey in their skin and the brightly coloured ones seem to be 'shouting loudly' to potential predators that they should be avoided. Ceratosoma alleni on the other hand, is one of the few that has decided that discretion is the better strategy, but they still store distasteful chemicals in their skin - just in case their camouflage fails.
(Bill Rudman). Found in Puerto Galera, Mindoro Oriental, Philippines.
They are similar to S. ornatus but that one has a yellow stripe on rhinophores and two yellow bands on cerata instead of one. Feeds on algae. Sabang, Puerto Galera, Mindoro Oriental, Philippines
