The Angel and Devil on My Shoulder

Look at these lovely angel-devil hybrids! It makes me a little happier knowing that these creatures are fluttering around the sea somewhere.

Sea angels, also known as cliones, are a group of small swimming sea slugs. Sea angels are gelatinous, mostly transparent and very small, with the largest species reaching 5 cm. Clione limacina is a polar species; those found in warmer waters are far smaller. Some species of sea angel feed exclusively on sea butterflies; the angels have terminal mouths with the radula common to mollusks, and tentacles to grasp their prey, sometimes with suckers similar to cephalopods. Their “wings” allow sea angels to swim much faster than the larger (usually fused) wings of sea butterflies. Other species of sea angel feed mostly on zooplankton. (from Wiki)
