» If you find this species has been misidentified, please let us know
Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Richard Willan: By contrast, Phyllidia varicosa would have more continuous mid-dorsal ridges as in the individual in the next photo and it would not have the black arching radial pattern laterally (not all the black rays are visible in this photo because they are hidden by the black sponge).
Comment from the photographer: Photographed Sep 1997
