Dear Kheong,
I am pretty sure this is an interesting colour form of Phyllidia elegans. Perhaps it is a juvenile. Can you give us any idea of its length? The yellow tips on some of the tubercles are fairly conclusive evidence. This species also has a black median line along the sole of the foot, but I don't suppose you would have photographed its foot!
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
