Sea slug’s travels
When the brown sea slug squirts a purpleink it means it is scared or worried.
An octopus does the same.
The green shell on the back of the slug is like a shield for them,
to protect them from rocks and shells. Their antennas are to feel if there is
anything coming their way and to feel the vibrations in the water.
They have camouflage skin. It would be like a green P in a green blanket, you wouldn’t be
able to see it. So the brown sea slug camouflages themselves in the rocks and seaweed so thay
are hard to find.


1. The purple ink is thick and slimy likes not, they do this when they are worried or alarmed.


2. There is a shell on their back. The green shell is there to protect them from rock crabs.


3. Their antennas are to sense the way around like how we have eyes
to see a way around. How they do this is a stick there antennas out and
wiggle them around so they can feel the vibrations in the water.

4. The camouflage skin is to camouflage them from prey.

  1. Dear Lulu,
    That was really interesting to read. Where can these sea slugs be found? I do not think I have ever seen one before.
