Sapling snail

Sapling snails are nudibranch snails with tree-like appendages on their backs, which mainly feed on fixed cnidarians. The term tree snail can be defined more narrowly or broadly:

• the shaggy tree snail ( Dendronotus frondosus )
• the family Dendronotidae , to which the shaggy tree snail belongs
• the family Tritoniidae , to which other tree snails belong:
  • the Great Tritonia ( Tritonia hombergi )
  • the fringed tree snail ( Marionia blainvillea )
• the superfamily of sapling snails (Tritonioidea), to which other predatory nudibranch snails belong in addition to these two families
