Polycera norvegica, is a sea slug, a species of dorid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae.
This nudibranch is described from Norway and DNA-determined from Scotland where it is sympatric with Polycera quadrilineata with which it has previously been confused.
Polycera norvegica is a smooth-bodied nudibranch with two colour morphs. The ground colour is translucent white with yellow or orange tubercles which may unite into lines along the mantle margin and midline of the body. The spotted colour morph has smaller yellow spots and additional black speckles which may partially fuse into brown patches in some individuals. The head has four or occasionally six projections with yellow surface pigmentation which may be reduced to spots of yellow in the speckled morph. The gills and rhinophores are translucent white, tipped with yellow. [1]

Triopha maculata, common name spotted triopha or speckled triopha, is a species of colorful sea slug, a nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae. This species is very variable in color.
Polycera faeroensis is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae.
Polycera is a genus of sea slugs, specifically nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Polyceridae.
Polycera abei is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae.
The crowned nudibranch is a species of dorid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae.
Polycera quadrilineata, is a sea slug, a species of dorid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae. The specific epithet quadrilineata means four-lined and refers to the four longitudinal black lines present on the original specimen. This species is sometimes called the fourline nudibranch. In 2020 a integrative molecular and morphological study showed that P. quadrilineata was a complex of two species in the NE Atlantic and one of these species was given the new name Polycera norvegica.
The twin-crowned nudibranch, scientific name Polycera sp., as designated by Gosliner, 1987, is a species of dorid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae. As of November 2009, it was undescribed by science.
