This is a pteropod (pronounced Tair-a-pod). Pteropods are related to snails and are also known as sea butterflies because of the way they flap their wings to keep themselves afloat. They come in a wide array of colors from purple velvet to bright pink or orange and are really beautiful! (Larry Madin)
