Koehler, E., 1999 (Dec 18) Phyllidia alyta from the Maldives. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/1588Thanks Erwin,
This animal fits Nathalie's description exactly. I suspect larger specimens may develop yellow-capped tubercles.
Bill Rudman.
