Cool, is this one of those snail-slugs?
Really neat. I love its colours and how it's kind of got a window in its body. Invertebrates sure are fascinating, especially in the tropics!
Great shot.

Yes. This species is very rare and was discovered by scientists just few years ago.

Looks like this species of slug is in the process of evolving into a snail again. Or maybe the other way around?
Lovely shot either way.

Rather bizarre, like a slug that swallowed a marble, then split its skin. Revoltingly fascinating!

I think it's a slug, not a snail.
Still a magnificent and beautiful specimen, one of the cutest snails/slugs/whatever i've seen

You are right. In polish language, almost every mollusc (except Bivalvia) is called "snail". We call slugs "shell less snails". I'll correct that

Sorry to make a comment so late, but this really got me curious: In polish are cephalopods such as octopus referred to as snails? They're molluscs like snails too, but more distantly related than slugs.

Yes, I forgot about cephalopods
Polish common name for cephalopods has the same meaning as latin. Cephalopoda = Głowonogi (Cephalon=głowa=head, podium=noga=leg).
In my language we don't distinguish snails and slugs. We call them "shellless snails" - ślimaki bezmuszlowe (ślimak=snail, bez=without, muszla=shell).
