Sea slugs (nudibranchs) are gastropod mollusks without shells, and they move like land slugs, by sliding along on a slime-lubricated foot.
There are a great variety of sea slugs, from the common sea hare (its eye-stalks resemble rabbit ears, and its siphon takes the place of a tail) to brightly colored beauties with many waving structures on the back.
Sea hares squirt ink when alarmed, like squid and octopoda.
Below are links to a picture of a clown dorid, and a website devoted to sea slugs.
