Phyllidiella meandrina is distinguished from the other species of Phyllidiella by its figure-of-8 black marking centrally. This divides two groups of pink tubercles. There may be up to 3 tuberculate pink bands around this, and the edge is pink. The rhinophores are black. Known from the western Indian Ocean to South Africa -- Nathalie Yonow
