Dear Kheong,
This is Halgerda tessellata. All species of Halgerda are characterised by the pattern of ridges over the mantle, usually sharp but in the case of this species, more flattened. In this species the ridges are a yellow-brown and the spaces in between are dark brown with bright white spots.
Best wishes,
Billl Rudman
