Slug Slug, or land slug, is a common name for any apparently shell-less terrestrial gastropod mollusc. The word slug is also often used as part of the common name of any gastropod mollusc that has no shell, a very reduced shell, or only a small internal shell, particularly sea slugs and semislugs. Various taxonomic families of land slugs form part of several quite different evolutionary lineages, which also include snails. Thus, the various families of slugs are not closely related, despite a superfi

Blue Sea Slug Blue Sea Slug. The Blue Sea Slug, also known as the Blue Ocean Slug, Blue Glaucus, Sea Swallow, Sea Lizard and Sea Dragon, not to mention Glaucus atlanticus. Wow! That's quite a collection! It only takes a quick look to understand why such a creature would amass so many names: it's absolutely gorgeous!nce detected, the Blue Sea Slug will slowly make its way to prey using its big wing, jazz hand things, which are also called palps or cerata. I prefer jazz hands, though. Small prey can be eaten whole, large prey can be cut apart with the radula-the tough, toothy, tongue that molluscs have.

- Photo @RJKingSays / Ryan King. A team from the Wadden Sea Centre in Denmark say they believe to have found the world's largest oyster. Coming in at 35.5 cm (13.97 inches) and weighing 2 kilos (4.4 lbs) it was found in the Wadden Sea and is still alive. The organism is so large that it actually has a number of smaller oysters now growing on its shell.

Slug History Edit. The slug is part of a subset of units known as the gravitational FPS system, one of several such specialized systems of mechanical units developed in the late 19th and the 20th century.Geepound was another name for this unit in early literature.he name slug, as a unit of inertia, was coined before 1900 by British physicist Arthur Mason Worthington, but it did not see any significant use until decades later. A 1928 textbook says: No name has yet been given to the unit of mass and, in fact, as we have developed the theory of dynamics no name is necessary.

- Slugs live on land and in saltwater, and one genus, Acochlidium, lives in freshwater. The unadorned word slug, however, is applied primarily to land slugs, whereas slugs from the sea or from fresh water are usually referred to as  sea slugs  or freshwater slugs.f the six orders of Pulmonata, two – the Onchidiacea and Soleolifera – solely comprise slugs. A third family, the Sigmurethra, contains various clades of snails, semi-slugs (i.e. snails whose shells are too small for them to retract fully into) and slugs.
