Hieee all,

I was cross referencing this particular species and found that Dr Helmut Debelius actually identifies this species as
Chromodoris rufomarginata

none the less i have seek advice from a couple of Marine Biologist. Will keep everyone posted about the correct Identification.

nothing much is said about it's habitat, feeding behaviour either, sigh.....
