Identification is verified by Scott Johnson, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Scott Johnson: Of course Paradoris liturata does an incredible job of mimicking Phyllidiella pustulosa, but since I cannot see any trace of dorsal gills on this animal, I would have to stick with Phyllidiella pustulosa.
Comment from the photographer: Found at Split Rock.
