Those slugs are prolly feeding on the stem itself sucking nutrients from the plant as it pushes them up the tubes of the stem.

I would get rid of them.

I slept in a Holiday Inn last night so I am pretty sure I am pretty correct.
lol a good way to get rid of them is to pic them off one by one.(It works)
Harddon you crack me up......
I have heard from a former grower that if you boil peppers, the juices from the peppers are a bug replent. put the boiled water with the commbination of the peppers in a spray bottle. Spray in the problem areas i wouldn't spray on the bud havent tested that yet. only spray it on the stem were the problem areas are.
I hope this helps
