Conclusion: Phyllidia ocellata
Reviewed by Codex identification research on Aug 27, 2026 · 92% reviewer confidence.
Reasoning recorded at review
- Orange-gold dorsal ground colour
- Large white compound tubercles
- Multiple black ocelli, each centred on a white tubercle and edged by a fine white line
- Yellow-orange rhinophores
Alternatives considered
- Other Phyllidia species or P. ocellata-complex lineage
Why plausible: Phyllidiids include cryptic lineages and variable colour morphs
Comparison: Specimen anatomy and DNA would be required for lineage-level certainty
Evidence limits & sources +−
- • No specimen anatomy or DNA
- • Photographic conclusion should remain probable rather than confirmed
