In English?

The Devil Slug? The Pimp Slug?

"This relatively large species, sometimes growing more than 120 mm long, shows a considerable range in colour." - The Sea Slug Forum (yes, there is such a thing)


Ah-h-h-h-h --- "considerable range in colour" --- that's why I couldn'y find it in my books, I was looking for red-and-black...
 
In English?

I think Neville Coleman calls this species "Dusky Nembrotha" or something equally heinous... Wikipedia calls it "variable neon slug."

I think you should go with "the pimp slug."
