Placida dendritica is a species of small sea slug, a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Limapontiidae.

[1] Despite a superficial resemblance, this is not a nudibranch, it is a sacoglossan (i.e. it is in the order Sacoglossa).

Like most sacoglossans, Placida dendritica feeds on coenocytic green algae.

It is able to retain the chloroplasts for a short period.
