Comment from Gary McDonald: Could be Dendronouts albus or Dendronotus diversicolor. I can't see the frontal veil nor determine the number of cerata in the photo.
Dendronotus albus has frontal veil with 2 pairs of branched processes; general ground color translucent grayish-white; 4–8 pairs of cerata; usually tipped with orange-red.
Dendronotus diversicolor has frontal veil with 3 pairs of branched processes; ground color translucent grayish-white or lilac; 4–5 pairs of cerata.
