Dear Kheong,
This looks like the species? colour form? that I have decided to keep separate as Phyllidiella cf. annulata. Your upper photo has some similarities to Phyllidiella granulatus but that species does not have a submarginal black line around the mantle. However we know very little about that species so it is possible that Phyllidiella cf. annulata will turn out to be a colour form of P. granulatus.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
