Dear Kheong,
All the ring-like pustules in the centre of the back give this the look of Phyllidiella annulata, but that species does not have a pale mantle border. This colour and pustule combination keep appearing regularly on the Forum and I have in the past called them P. cf. annulata or tried to 'squeeze' them into another species such as P. pustulosa or P. zeylanica. So they don't get lost I have moved them all to their own page, which I have called Phyllidiella cf. annulata. The 'cf' does not mean that I think they are closely related to P. annulata, it just means they look alike.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
