This guy looks very common, but I can find nothing in my ID books with this bump placement and coloration.

That's one of Marli's "favorite" groups - the lumpy-bumpies. My guess is a green form of Phyllidiella pustulosa, one of the most common species in the Indo-Pacific.

Some scientists think that this green form is a different species, but for now, this Lumpy Bumpy is P. pustulosa.
