Hi Bill,
Here's a shot of Plocamopherus maculatus taken in Anilao, Luzon Island, Philippines in April, 2002. Apparently, its range also includes the Philippines.

Locality: Anilao, Luzon Island, Philippines. Depth: 30 ft. Length: 3 cm. April, 2002. Photographer: Jeff Rosenfeld

Thanks,
Jeff

Dear Jeff,
From the yellow spots around the edge of the foot, and general shape, I suspect this is a pale form of  Plocamopherus ceylonicus. It also has 3 pairs of lateral papillae while P. maculatus seems to have only two.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
