Dear Valda,
I am pretty sure that this is Phyllidiopsis striata but to be more confident it would be nice to know the colour of the rhinophores which should be translucent white or yellowish. Another species which looks very like this but with black rhinophores is Phyllidiopsis annae but it hasn't been found in your part of the world as yet.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
