Sea angels are a type of gelatinous, transparent slug.

Sea angels will grab their prey and eat them through the protrusions on their head. The protrusions, called buccal cones, have hooks and a kind of toothed-tongue on the inside. 

Their organs are colorful and can be seen through their transparent bodies.
