There are two primary divisions of gastropods, slugs and snails. Each including many different species of their own respects. Slugs may not have a shell, but many produce a slime that predators find foul tasting. Snails have a strong calcium carbonate shell. Both may have a camouflage coloring to both the shell and body. Many slugs of the clade Nudibranch are capable of producing poison. Their bright coloration warns predators of this.
