Dendronotacea
Nudibranchs of the suborder Dendronotacea are a highly diverse group characterized by rhinophores that have a cup-like sheath. Most have  two rows of cerata (or cerata-like) dorsal processes that are used for respiration. Dendronotids are predators feeding on a wide variety of other invertebrates, depending on family. Many can swim by flexing the body and some (Phylliroidae) are planktonic. At least eight families are known from Hawaii.
