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.
Dendrodoris carbunculosa is a very large species, it is recorded with 41 cm at the Sea-Slug Forum, IPN writes it grows up to 750 mm.
