Hi Kim - Never seen it. Looks like a juvenile, so could be an off-colored juvie of a new or known larger species. It could be a phyllidiid mimic like Pearsonothuria juveniles. Agree that looks stichopodid.

Hello Kim; What a spectacular animal; never seen anything like it I'm afraid Guessing is the only thing to do for me: a stichopodid, and a new species! This is a nocturnal animal, correct? Very very nice animal.
