I'm pretty sure its Phidiana newcombi. I can't be sure from the picture that your animals have the characteristic ridges or lamellae on the rhinophores, but as I say above, the rhinophores are often damaged in this species, and the replacement structures do not have the ridges.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
