Sea Butterfly
The Sea Butterfly, is a small type of pelagic swimming sea snail (mollusk) without a shell. It flaps it's wings and flies through the ocean. The wings are really feet that have adapted to the ocean. They are magnificent creatures to behold. They look other worldly-almost as if they are a galaxy unto themselves.
