Dendronotidae
Dendronotidae is a family of sea slugs, nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Dendronotoidea. This family is within the clade Cladobranchia (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Description Animals within this family have elongated bodies with numerous branching cerata on their dorsal sides. The cerata contain extensions from the digestive gland which vary in extent between species. The head has an oral veil having branching extensions. The lamellate rhinophores are surrounded by a sheath and branched extensions.Korshunova, T., Bakken, T., Grøtan, V.V., Johnson, K.B., Lundin, K. & Martynov, A., 2020A synoptic review of the family Dendronotidae (Mollusca: Nudibranchia): a multilevel organismal diversity approach.Contributions to Zoology. 1-61.

Dendronotus Albus
''Dendronotus albus'' is a species of sea slug, a dendronotid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Dendronotidae.Bouchet, P. (2015)''Dendronotus albus''.In: MolluscaBase (2015). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species on 2016-01-26. Distribution This species was described from shallow water at Point Pinos, Monterey Bay, California, United States. It has been reported from the west coast of North America from Alaska to Baja California, Mexico. Taxonomic history Robilliard correctly recognised that there were two species of ''Dendronotus'' in the NE Pacific and described ''Dendronotus diversicolor'' as a new species. ''D. albus'' and ''D. diversicolor'' were synonymised by Stout et al., 2010, probably because the specimens they studied did not include both species. In fact Robilliard consistently used the name ''D. albus'' for '' Dendronotus robilliardi'' and redescribed the true ''D. albus'' as ''D. diversicolor''.Korshunova T., Sanamy ...

''Dendronotus albopunctatus'' is a species of sea slug, a dendronotid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Dendronotidae. Distribution This species can be found on the Pacific Ocean coast of North America.Stout C.C., Pola M. & Valdés Á. (2010) ''Phylogenetic analysis of ''Dendronotus'' nudibranchs with emphasis on northeastern Pacific species.'' Journal of Molluscan Studies 76: 367-375. page(s): 373 Description ''Dendronotus albopunctatus'' is a large dendronotid nudibranch, growing to at least 60 mm in length. The body is translucent white with a red-brown hue on the back. There are opaque white spots on the sides and back of the body, velar processes and rhinophore sheaths. The body shape is similar to ''Dendronotus robustus'', with a broad foot. Feeding habits This species feeds on hydroids Hydroids are a life stage for most animals of the class Hydrozoa, small predators related to jellyfish. Some hydroids such as the freshwater ...

Dendronotus Claguei
''Dendronotus claguei'' is a species of sea slug in the family Dendronotidae. It was discovered by the MBARI while exploring the Alarcón Rise, found on an inactive hydrothermal chimney. The scientists collected two specimens, one 7 mm in length and the other 18 mm in length. Their discovery raised questions on how nudibranch Nudibranchs () are a group of soft-bodied marine gastropod molluscs which shed their shells after their larval stage.

This genus is within the clade Cladobranchia (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Description ''Dendronotus'' has an elongated, broad body, with 4 to 8 pairs of branched cerata on the notum. Animals in this genus have an obvious oral veil with 2 to 5 extensions. These extensions may be branched. Smaller unbranched extensions are found around the mouth. The rhinophores are surrounded by a sheath and the sheath itself has branched extensions. A large extension is found on the side at the base of each rhinophore. The anal opening occurs between the first and second set of dorsal cerata on the right side of the body.Ekimova, I.; Korshunova, T.; Schepetov, D.; Neretina, T.; Sanamyan, N.; Martynov, A. (20 ...
