Phyllidia coelestis Bergh, 1905
Phyllidia coelestis occours in the Indo-West Pacific, the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean to South Africa.This species can be found in lagoons and reefs up to 30 m depth.Its diurnal.Celestial Phyllidia feeds on sponges.
Seaslugforum:"Phyllidia coelestis can be distinguished from other similar-looking phyllidiids by colour and pattern: in particular the "Y" shape of the blue-grey dorsal ridges; the yellow-capped mid-dorsal tubercles (which never form a median ridge as in Phyllidia varicosa); the evenly tuberculate, broad, blue-grey mantle margin; and the uniformly grey foot without a dark stripe."
