Bill,
    
We have no name for the beast --it does show up in Guam as well as the Marshall Islands.  Host algae is Tydemania expeditionis.
Details on the specimen in the photo are: 15mm long, Guam, Bile Bay, 2m; 15 June 1988.

Thanks Clay,
From your photo it seems the white (milky-yellow?) patches along the parapodial edge of the Kerama Is. animal is not a constant character.
