Several terpenoid furans have been isolated from Cadlina luteomar-ginata, most of them cited previously as metabolites from Porifera. Two more compounds from this species were dendrolasin (791) and pleraplysillin-1 (792) (524). Dendrolasin (791) was also a constituent of Hypselodoris ghiselini and H. califomiensis (78). The digestive glands of Dendrodoris grandiflora contained the previously known sesquiterpenes microcionin-1 (793), -2 (777), -3 (794), and -4 (795) (528). 

Doriopsilla, and found 796 and 797 as well as two related compounds, olepupuane (799) and the methoxy acetal 800. Since the nudibranch was extracted with cold methanol, 800 is probably an artifact. Olepupuane (799) has been shown to inhibit feeding of the Pacific damsel fish Dascyllus aruanus) on food pellets that were impregnated with various concentrations (5-50 pg/mg) of the terpenoid. 6P-Acethoxyole-pupuane (801) from Dendrodoris grandiflora also showed antifeedant properties 528).
