Dendronotus frondosus? from New England

June 24, 2001
From: Paul Young

Locally these are called Bushy-Back Nudibranches. This isi the second of the two species we think we have here. The first I sent in a separate message

We think this heavier set animal is Dendronotus robustus.

They are common in central Maine. They are about 4 cm long and are usually found on kelp. These were photographed off Mount Desert Island.

Dear Paul,
As I asked in the first message, can someone please say something intelligible about Dendronotus on the east coast of North America.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
