Trapania sp 9

Hi Bill,
wonder if you could ID this teeny nudi for me? Think it's a juvenile Trapania? Took this last yr at a site called secret garden at Pulau Lang, off Pulau Aur/Dayang in West Malaysia. The picture is a bit blur because it's so tiny!
Locality: Pulau Lang, 7m, West Malaysia, South China Sea, 2 October 2005, Sandy with staghorn corals and algae. Length: 10mm. Photographer: Alvin Ho.
Many thanks,
Alvin

Dear Alvin,
Yes this is a species of Trapania, but unless my memory is failing me it hasn't got a name. I'll call it Trapania sp. 9. The latero-dorsal processes are rather interesting. The brownish tips seem to contain spherules - perhaps glands?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
