Seaslugs - Part II. Sidegill slugs and Sap-sucking slugs- by Ákos Lumnitzer added 2004-11-23

They do not move about very quickly at all, which is a characteristic that makes them easy subjects to shoot. Often it is not the case of 'the one that got away', but the case of 'Oh no! I have run out of film again!'.

Night Dive Surprise- by BAT added 2004-09-26
