tailed slug Philinopsis reticulata Family Aglajidae updated Mar 11 Where seen? This small slug was seen at Cyrene in a sandy area near seagrasses and reefs. Features: 2-3cm. A long, cylindrical body that appears to be made up of two parts. The parapodia are very short. There is a pair of 'tails', one a little longer than the other. It has a tiny internal shell. A fine black and white pattern that does not extend onto the inside of the parapodia. It has blue markings on the front and back edges of the parapodia. What does it eat? Some species eat bubble shell snails, hunting them by following their slime trail then swallowing them whole. |
