In general, gastopods use slime secretions to communicate and tentacles to receive messages. The role of rhinopores is usually for chemoreception as well, but in nudibranchs, this role may vary with genera. Chemoreception is the main receptive channel for feeding, avoiding predators and toxins and to synchronize mating. Visual reception in gastropods is still being investigated.
