Note added March 24 2003: This is probably a juvenile P. alyta

Dear Erwin,
I'm pretty sure that this is a juvenile Phyllidia elegans. From the yellow rhinophores and small rhinotubercle behind each rhinophore, it is clearly a Phyllidia, and the arrangement of the dorsal tubercles and colour are fairly characteristic of that species.
