''Placida dendritica'' is a species of minute sea slug, a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Limapontiidae.〔(WoRMS : Placida dendritica ) accessed : 13 October 2010]〕 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, however the ingested plastids are not functional, and do not provide nutritional benefit to the animal.〔 * Goodnight, S. (2012).

University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH.〕 ==Distribution== This species has been reported worldwide, but it is most likely a species complex.〔http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/2149〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Placida dendritica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
