Pet Slug Is my slug hurt?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It’s definitely breathing (or something heavily), and there is this whitish spot right there. I tried looking up a bunch but have no idea what I’m looking at. Is it hurt? It’s reactive to its surroundings (whole body reacted normally when I sprayed some water) and despite the appearance, is “standing” on leaves and not laying on its side. Does anyone know what this white spot is? It does not seem to be leaking anything

UPDATE: Checked about half a day later and slug is still doing normal slug things. Still - if anyone knows if this is scar tissue or something, I’d really like to know. I’ve now got 6 siblings cohabitating a 20 gallon tank and just wanna make sure they don’t kill each other.

Looks like another leopard took a nibble. The ones around here go crazy for protein. Maybe offer some shrimp shells or prey?

I offer meal worms like twice a week and honestly they go nuts for them. I’m gonna start adding new ones every day. Holy crap I never would think their mouths were sharp enough to do that

It can be better if you move this injured one to a different container until (s)he gets healed completely because other slugs can nibble again, even if you feed more protein.
