Sea Angel

A beautiful Sea Angel in the sea.

So sea angels are a group of snails, basically. They’re not too distant relatives of garden snails that you would find on land in your back yard. With their wing-like fins, rounded heads and pinkish "hearts," it's hard not to fall in love with these tiny, slimy fairies, who have earned such names as sea angel. 

Sea Angels are widely distributed in the North Atlantic and Subarctic Oceans and is found also in the North Pacific Ocean and along the Atlantic coast of North America in the waters of the cold Labrador current south to the Cape Hatteras region (around 35 N) – EOL.ORG.
