Dendrodoris carbunculosa can be distinguished from Dendrodoris tuberculosa (which looks pretty similar) by the large individual tubercules separated by smooth sections of the mantle. Each large tubercle is surrounded by a ring of small semispherical bumps. In Dendrodoris tuberculosa the tubercules are packed close together and are often compound.
