Bill,
Here is a photo of a Phyllidia sp. Having read the descriptions of both, I am still not sure if it is Phyllidia varicosa or Phyllidia coelestis?

Date: January 2002
Location: Fesdu Wreck, Ari Atoll, Maldive Islands
Depth: 20-24m

Cheers,
Orhan

Note added March 25 2003: This is probably a juvenile P. alyta.

Dear Orhan,
This is a species of Phyllidia but it is Phyllidia elegans.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
