Hi Bill,
Here are a couple of images for your database that look to me like Phyllidiella rudmani. I photographed them in Lebmeh Strait, Sulawesi Island, Indonesia.

The upper image (110215a)is from Divesite: Makawidey, November 21, 2002, Length: 27mm.
The lower image (110235) is from Divesite: Nudi Retreat, November 26, 2002, Lengh: 25-30mm.

Best regards,
Mary Jane

Thanks Mary Jane,
The single pair of black lines, and the rhinophores, with a black tip and pink base are characteristic of this species. Its nice to see a couple of photos which match the original description so well. The white, relatively long, oral tentacles, visible in the lower photo, are also typical
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
