Where
seen? This small black slug is sometimes seen
on some of our shores, burrowing among seagrasses and near living
reefs.
Features: 1-2cm. A long, cylindrical
body that appears to be made up of two parts. A pair of 'tails', one a lot longer and narrower than the other. It has a
tiny internal shell. Included here are slugs that are all black and those that are black with speckles and other touches of colour. |
