Yup, there is.

The slime monster is a water element, usually composed of oil, water, emulsion, and bacteria. Think amoeba/water elemental.
A sludge monster is more an eart element, with silt, mud, and the occasional garbage. Think a compost monster.

Slime—clear; either slippery or gummy in texture
Sludge—opaque, often toxic; contains more solids, silty/muddy.

The difference between a solution and a suspension.

The difference between no pulp and pulpy orange juice.

Both slime girls and sludge girls have dongs, but the sludge girls' are bigger than yours

That would depent on interpretation, but slime is generally clearer and more pleasant both to the eyes and to the nose.

Sludge is, by definition, a viscous mix of liquid and solid things. It typically refers to waste, sometimes industrial but not only. That's why monsters from the sewers are fairly often called sludges instead of slimes (though there are also cases where slimes act as sort of cleaners, decomposing whatever junk falls into the sewers).

Slime's may have various shapes, colors and abilities, depending on their origin and environment whereas sludge is a semi-solid monster that results from the waste or pollution. They may have toxic or corrosive properties.
