Hello Bill,
I found this specimen on a night dive in Layang Layang but couldn't find it in the newly described 16 species.

Locality: Jetty of Layang Layang, 6 m, Malaysia, China Sea, July 2008, muddy. Length: 1,5 cm. Photographer: Sylvie Grall.

Thank you for your help.

Dear Sylvie,

This certainly doesn't fit any species I am aware of, including the 16 new species. In one of those twists of numerology I will call this Trapania sp. 16 on the Forum. The dark brown background colour and large white spots seem characteristic.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
