sea slug
A sea slug is a common name for various marine invertebrate animals with soft bodies, often with bright colors and striking forms. They are found in various taxonomic groups, but the most known are within the Nudibranchia, a suborder of gastropod mollusks. The term 'sea slug' is often used to describe these creatures due to their resemblance to terrestrial slugs. They lack a visible shell, have a streamlined shape, and like all mollusks, they have a mantle, a respiratory system with gills, and a foot for locomotion. They possess tentacles on their heads that help to identify their surroundings. They inhabit various regions of seas and oceans worldwide, and their diet mostly consists of algae, sponges, coral, and even other sea slugs.
