Dear Dr Koh,
I am pretty sure this is Noumea nivalis. Other photos on the Forum show some orange spots on the mantle and some orange-tipped gills, but Baba emntions that both these characters can be absent as in your photo. The most important colour features are the white body, orange-yellow mantle margin and the orange-tipped rhinophore clubs.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
