Phyllidia ocellata
The color and pattern variation across the geographical distribution of this species is amazing! Observe the more yellow coloring of this one spotted at Sodwana against the more orange of the one spotted in Madagascar. They are close to the pattern of the ones photographed in Egypt, and somewhat to the Keynian and Seychelles ones (See the reference link)
Deep reef, 30m+ at Sodwana Bay, South Africa
