Are there slugs that eat other slugs and not my crops?

ABOB SAYS Yes, though not that you will not find them much help. For example, testacella species, notable for a small vestigial shell on their tail, can sometimes eat other slugs though their main diet is earthworms, so on the whole they’re little help. The commercial­ly available parasitic nematodes are a much better solution.
