Phyllidia babai
Phyllidia babai Nudibranch
This species is similar to Phyllidia ocellata and P. willani, but it has minute, scattered opaque white spots on the body, black rings at the base of some tubercles and a pale yellow marginal border. Like most species of phyllidilis it produces a pungent noxious chemical that is toxic to fish and crustacean predators.
