Tata, a Philippine diveguide at Malapascua Island, described an unknown dorid to me in 2003: "It had a pale tan colour and extensions like towers". There is no dorid looking like Miamira alleni, so we had a short look at Mike's shot and Tata confirmed my ID. Karin Wessel and Alexander Groeninger wrote that their specimen with a length of 10 cm had extensions of approximately 6 cm.
Miamira alleni has been reported from the Philippine islands, Malaysia and Indonesia.
This species was posted on 16 July 2004 at these websites as Ceratosoma alleni  Gosliner, 1996,
R.F. Johnson & Gosliner (2012) moved it to the reerected ("rescued from synonymy") genus Miamira  Bergh, 1875.
