Gymnosomes slowly beat their wing-like parapodia in a rowing motion to propel their "perfectly streamlined" bodies through the upper 20 m of the water column. Although usually slow-moving, beating their wings once or twice per second, they are capable of bursts of speed when they need to pursue their

The wing comprises seven groups of muscles, anterior oblique muscles for dorsal and ventral sides, posterior oblique muscles for dorsal and ventral sides, the longitudinal and transverse wing retractors muscles, and dorso-ventral muscles. The first four groups form a continuous sheet where the dorsal
457:
The gymnosomes, like other shell-less opisthobranchs, discard their shells at metamorphosis, with the retractor muscles being severed and the shell lost. The group does not truly, therefore, lack a shell. Few larval shells have been described (and consequently an understanding of their fossil record

muscles are perpendicular to the ventral muscles. Transverse and longitudinal retractors muscles retract the wing along the span and the chord. The dorso-ventral muscles control the thickness of the wing by changing the haemocoelic pressure inside the wing, this also ejects the buccal apparatus from

stimulates the neuromuscular system to chase the prey, this notably increases the motion of the wings, minimizes the gap between wingtips at the end of each stroke, lessening the aspect ratio, and increases the deflection of the wings. Therefore, reducing the drag forces and overcoming stall. Also,

Their hunting strategies are variable; some forms are ambush predators, sitting and waiting for their prey; whilst others actively pursue their prey; their metabolic rate is closely linked to that of their prey species. Even the size of the gymnosomes is correlated to the size of their prey, which
369:
By rowing their "wings" back and forth at 1–3 Hz, the sea angels swim at speeds up to 100 mm/s (0.22 mph). This is about twice as fast as their prey, the sea butterfly. Tracing the wingtip showed a ‘figure-of-eight’ trajectory and stroke plane orthogonal to the caudal-rostral axis,

Recent molecular data suggest the Gymnosomata form a sister group to the Thecosomata (other planktonic, weakly or nonmineralized gastropods), but this long-standing hypothesis has also had some recent detractors. Fossils of the group go back to the Middle Frasnian stage of the
295:, the foot of the gastropod has developed into wing-like flapping appendages (parapodia) and larval sea angels discard their embryonic shells a few days after hatching. Both adaptations suit their free-swimming oceanic lives. The adaptations also explain the common name 313:
The lack of a heavy shell for gymnosomes allows them to hover on the upper water surfaces for longer periods, along with a streamlined body that reduces the drag coefficient. Also, gymnosomes have a low aspect ratio which aids them to maneuver and accelerate quickly.

These organisms have a wide geographic range, from polar regions, under sea ice, to equatorial (tropic) seas. From spring to autumn, sea angels live at a depth of 200 m in the Sea of Okhotsk. In winter, they migrate to the coast of north Hokkaido with drift ice.
