Sea angels, also known as cliones, and previously known as one kind of pteropod, are a group of small swimming sea slugs. These are pelagic marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the suborder Gymnosomata within the superorder Heterobranchia. The number of families defined within this order varies from one taxonomist to another, but there may be as many as eight families and 17 genera. In the new taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), the clade Gymnosomate is arranged as follows&_160; Thliptodontidae is then treated as Thliptodontinae, a subfamily of the family Clionidae.
