Hi Bill,
I think Orhan's animal is Phyllidia alyta.

Dear Erwin,
I think you're right. I onviously haven't got a mindset for this species yet. In Orhan's animal the tubercles are isolated rather than raised on ridges, and most of them are yellow-tipped, rather than just the inner ones, but otherwise it fits. On looking through earlier postings on the P. elegans page I see one of yours from the Maldives is probably a juvenile of P. alyta as well.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
