I found this one in a bay in Koh Tao. Is it Phidiana militaris? Could you please help me to identify this specimen?

Locality: Aow Leuk, Koh Tao, 5 m, Thailand, Gulf of Thailand, 13. October 2007, Rocky. Length: 30 mm. Photographer: Somsri Choojan.

Dear Nid,
This is a species of Phidiana but it is P. indica. One easy way to distinguish these two species is that in P. indica the head is orange with white lines while in P. militaris it is white with orange lines.

Best wishes,
