Predators of Navanax inermis

From: Shannon

I'm doing a school report on the Navanax inermis. I was hoping that someone would be able to tell me some of the predators of this creature. Are the predators the same as the Hair Slug? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Dear Shannon,
I have started a special page for information on what eats sea slugs. It is not easy to find this sort of information. I am not sure if there is any information on what attacks Navanax. Ernie Hart's message showed that they are sometimes cannibals, juvenile Navanax sometimes being eaten by larger Navanax. Perhaps someone can give us some more information. I guess you've had a look at the other messages on Navanax below yours on this page for some more background information. I'm sorry but I don't know which slug you mean by the 'Hair Slug'.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
