One inch or so slugs are very popular with our Koi. They cannot survive in
water (I believe) so perhaps they fell in from some of your plantings. They
are no good for plants of course.

My husband just plucked several huge 3" or so slugs our of my mom's pond
skimmer! GROSS! Are these good or bad for the pond? Just another
thought, would they make good fishing bait???
