Red Triangle Slug
on a gnarled old Banksia serrata.
Triboniophorus graeffei
Native to the East coast of Australia.
Australian Native slugs can be differentiated from introduced slugs because they have only one pair of tentacles, while introduced snails and slugs have two pairs.
The Red Triangle Slug is usually found grazing on microscopic algae growing on the surface of smooth-barked eucalypt trees, leaving behind scalloped tracks as it goes. If given the chance, it will also remove bathroom mould.
