Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #32837
Seems to have lost the orange pigment on the major tubercles.

The orange tubercles are barely visible in the middle row.

Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #17012
This looks more like multifaria with bleached out tubercles. The black pattern with semi-lunar areas containing large tubercles (which should have orange tips) is diagnostic.

Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #11502
This one is Phyllidia multifaria – generally white with black dorsal lines extending as rays to the margins, and usually 3 rows of orange tipped tubercles… Quite variable, sometimes with lots of black.

Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #12919
Phyllidia multifaria (in the Red Sea) – similar to Phyllidia elegans, also has a black line on the sole of the foot.
