What eats sea slugs? One big gap in our knowledge is what actually eats Sea Slugs. Except in rare cases such information, where it exists, is published not in the malacological literature, where we would look, but in the literature associated with predator, for example fish biology journals, often in stomach contents lists which don't appear as keywords or any easily searchable form.
