Comment from Richard Willan on photo #4804
Although this individual has no large spots on its mantle, it is possibly an extreme colour form of Phyllidia polkadotsa with stripes instead of spots. In ‘Nudibranchs Encyclopedia’ (page 328) Neville Coleman has given a photo of an individual with spots and stripes, so this is halfway to an all-striped colour form.
