Remarks :
The coloration pattern of this species present some similarities with two other species : Phyllidia alyta and Phyllidia exquisita but according Nathalie Yonow and Hsini lin the shape of the tubercles is very different (looks like some Phyllidiopsis...), so for the moment I use the term of Phyllidiopsis sp. 4
