Default New Slugs

Has anyone seen a ghost slug or a shelled slug ? I saw the article about the Ghost Slug appearing in Welsh gardens and it sounds pretty disgusting eating earthworms. I have heard of the Shelled Slug - apparently it has a small shell over its breathing hole - but I have never met one, it apparently eats earthworms as well but is not considered to be a pest, whereas there are worries that the Ghost might become one. Cardiff University are asking for any sightings of these two beasties to be reported to them. Her is a link
