Dear Nick,
Yes, I am pretty sure this is what I have been calling Bornella stellifer. It seems that as the animal grows in size the translucent parts of the body bcome much whiter. I would like some more photos, and if you come across smaller animals it would be intersting to see if they are as white as this one. So far we only have records of this colour form from southeast Asian waters.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
