Identification is verified by Gary McDonald, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Gary McDonald: I'm not positive which of two species this is. Dendronotus albus, has frontal veil with 2 pairs of branched processes; general ground color translucent grayish-white; 4–8 pairs of cerata; and Dendronotus diversicolor, has frontal veil with 3 pairs of branched processes; ground color translucent grayish-white or lilac; 4–5 pairs of cerata. This specimen has 4 pairs of cerata, & I can't see the number of branched processes on the frontal veil.
