the first sea creature of the day is the sea angel, a marine gastropod !!!

info: sea angels are small, floating sea slugs (marine gastropod mollusks in the clionidae family) !! these angels use their little “wings” to get around in the water. despite their name, sea angels are actually predators who most often eat their relatives, the sea butterflies !! — one of my favorite fun facts about these guys is that they can actually switch genders !! they are protandrous hermaphrodites so they start off as males and turn into females through the course of their life !
