One inch or so slugs are very popular with our Koi. They cannot survive in
water (I believe) so perhaps they fell in from some of your plantings. They
are no good for plants of course.

My husband just plucked several huge 3" or so slugs our of my mom's pond
skimmer! GROSS! Are these good or bad for the pond? Just another
thought, would they make good fishing bait???

===========================
Koi also love those brown-headed fat white grubs that thrive in compost
piles. My koi gorge on them in the spring when I spread the compost over
the flower beds. I toss the grubs in an empty coffee can, then into the
ponds.
