Dear Erwin,
Either the Maldives have become a centre for yellow phyllidiids or else this is a colour form of your earlier photos. Interestingly some of the black marks in this photo seem to be lines breaking up into spots. One possibility is that Phyllidia polkadotsa ranges in colour form from spots to black lines.

It is an interesting puzzle.

Bill Rudman.
