Common name: Headshield slugs

Scientific name: Cephalaspidea

Cephalaspidea, commonly known as headshield slugs or bubble shells, is an order of marine gastropod mollusks. These creatures are characterized by their unique head shield, which they use to plow through the substrate. They are a diverse group, with members exhibiting a range of colors and patterns, making them interesting additions to a reef aquarium. Hobbyists appreciate them for their scavenging abilities, as they feed on detritus and algae, helping to keep the tank clean. However, they require stable water conditions and should be introduced to well-established aquariums.
