cf. is an abbreviation from a Latin word (confer) and means 'refer to'
or 'compare with', here it means it could possibly be Nembrotha guttata
or perhaps something closely related, or at least similar in appearance.
Nembrotha cf. guttata is black or red with scattered orange/red
pustules. Nembrotha guttata was described by Nathalie Yonow from
the Maldives with the rhinophore pockets black with an orange edge, almost
all Nembrotha cf. guttata from the Philippines have a white
patch at the base of each rhinophore pocket. Similar is Nembrotha
livingstonei which has a characteristic white cross-like mark between
the rhinophores.
