We have seen these on the wall at Menjangan Island, Bayu, Tulamben and in the Padangbai area. It is not always clear where to draw the line between this species and P. fissurata.
I'd almost be inclined to call the two below P. fissurata except they just don't seem different enough from those above.
The one below looks more like what Brunckhorst (1993) described as Phylllidiopsis pipeki but recent research indicates it is a synonym for P. krempfi. I have not seen the paper that declares this but cannot help but wonder if they were looking at the same P. pipeki.
