Bill -
I have to concur with your identification of Marli's white dorid as Adalaria proxima. Not only are the tubercles pointed but as Bleakney points out another telling point is that the large spicule rods embedded in the mantle radiate from the bases of the largest tubercles in a sunburst pattern. In Onchidoris muricata the spicules run transversely along the dorsum densely packed in parallel.
