Now Viewing: sea_angelTag type: General Sea angels (clade Gymnosomata) are a large group of small, swimming sea_slugs classified into six different families. They are pelagic opisthobranchs in the clade Gymnosomata within the larger clade Heterobranchia. Sea angels were previously referred to as a type of pteropod. Sea angels are also sometimes known as "cliones" but this is potentially misleading because the family Clionidae is just one of the families within this clade. From < en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_angel > Confusion with Zanburgs On 4chan the term "sea angel" has come to be associated with the fictional race of alien creatures called Zanburgs prevalent in the work of pixiv artist Ueno_Petarou. Zanburgs are depicted as aliens, and bear little resemblance to real sea angels. However, due to their sleek, aquatic appearance, they were nicknamed similarly.
