Dendronotus albus

Dendronotoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of small colorful sea slugs or nudibranchs, aeolid nudibranchs. ^[1]

This superfamily name was no longer used in the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Instead, most of the families that were in this superfamily were placed in the superfamily Tritonioidea. This taxonomy has been revised in 2017 restoring Dendronotoidea. ^[2]
