Description
This is an elongate species covered with very small tubercles. The body is cream blotched with brown and there are rows of stellate white patches along the sides of the notum (usually with the dorsal two rows being the most prominent). Young animals may lack obvious tubercles and stellate patches. Also, the brown patches may appear gradually with growth. Maximum size:  114 mm. Dendrodoris elongata is a moderately rare species found in rocky habitats at depths of 2-16 m (6-52 ft). It occurs at moderately exposed to highly exposed sites and lays a cream egg mass.

Distribution
Widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific; also in the Eastern Pacific.
