"Another tough one that doesn't really fit any of the known species. It looks kind of like something between Phyllidiella granulata and Phyllidiopsis pipeki. If it were a bit brighter pink, I'd go with Phyllidiopsis pipeki, but I think I'd call this a form of Phyllidiella granulata, even though it doesn't exactly match Brunckhorst's original description. It is similar to Phyllidiella granulata I have seen in Pohnpei; in those specimens, the granular appearance of the gray areas was visible in the actual specimen, but did not show up on my own images captured from video."
