Glaucus atlanticus Forster, 1777 is one of the very few Nudibranchiata
living a holoplanktonic life. See the Malacolog website:
http://www.malacolog.org/search.php?nameid=8875.
Do a Google search on the name Glaucus atlanticus and many illustrations
turn up.
This very species figures on the cover of Lalli & Gilmer's beautiful book
'Pelagic snails'(1989).
