Phyllidiella cf. annulata from the Solomons

Hi Bill
Here is another phyllidiid from my recent trip to the Solomon Islands. I have tentatively identified as Phyllidiella pustulosa. Can you confirm this?

Details are:

Dear Rachel,
It certainly would be easier if these were all P. pustulosa, but I think this is the animal I have separated off as Phyllidiella cf. annulata, which means it is probably not Phyllidiella annulata, but just looks a bit like it. I don't know if the brownish object it is crawling on is a sponge, but it might be worth looking out for something similar if you see it again.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
