This little creature flaps its *wings* for locomotion. It is approx 1/2" long and lives mid-water. Photo taken near Seattle, WA.

Um. Its a sea tongue?
Must be some sorta nudi. It's very cool. Great find, UP.

Looks like either a thecosomatan, or a gymnosomatan. The former has a shell, the latter does not. I don't see enough gymnosomatans to reliably differentiate them from photos.
Dang, and I just bought that Pacific jellyplankton book too. Where'd I stick that bloody thing...

My vote is for the Gastropteron pacificum.... Pacific wingfoot snail. I think I've heard these types of critters called a bubble snail or sea angel or sea butterfly. Its always cool to look out, change your focus & see strange things like this keeping you company on your safety stops.
