Clione limacina, the angel / angels of the sea / ocean.
The Real Life Angel
Subscribe ► bit.ly/1nFP2OT
This is clione limacina, commonly known as sea angel.
Graceful swimmers, they are beautiful to watch.
Their wing-like fins propel them in a manner reminiscent of flying, which is partially why they are commonly known as sea angels.
These gorgeous tiny slugs are fairly translucent, creating an almost ethereal illusion.
The translucent skin allows for the view of their internal organs, like their gonads, which are a pretty pink and orange hue.
Though their name implies an angelic nature, sea angels are, in fact, predators with quite a bite.
In a sick twist, their preferred food is one of their close relatives, the shelled sea snails... commonly known as sea butterflies.
Some species are ambush predators, lying in wait until prey passes by, while other species actively attack.
Once the sea angel gets hold of its prey, it uses two specialized eating appendages known as buccal cones to extract sea butterflies completely out of their shells.
The buccal cones have numerous hooks and a toothed radula that enable a quick and efficient meal.
