Seaslugs - Part II. Sidegill slugs and Sap-sucking slugsSeaslugs - Part II. Sidegill slugs and Sap-sucking slugs
In this article I will introduce you to the next two in hierarchical sequence. Seaslugs are indeed fascinating creatures and are a favorite for many photographers.

I have run out of film again!'.
Seaslugs - Part I. Headshield slugs and Sea hares.Seaslugs - Part I. Headshield slugs and Sea hares.
