Evolutionary history edit

The article says little is understood about their evolutionary history, but somehow places the origin of the group in the Devonian, when its sister group the Thecostomata only have a record back to the Paleogene. I'm fairly certain this is an error and will match it with Sea Butterflies. Those who find issue with this reasoning can change it as they may.2600:8800:1E00:25BC:504A:CECF:D5D4:5315 (talk) 06:20, 9 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Sources missing edit

There are no sources cited in this article. Could someone please add some?

Glen Waverley Secondary College edit

Has this college published its findings in a peer-reviewed scientific journal ? If so, then give the necessary references. Otherwise the guidelines of WP:Notability applies. JoJan 14:42, 20 June 2007 (UTC)Reply


Yes it has, although the IPCC as per the arrangement set out with Glen Waverley Secondary Collage was to remain quiet about the schools involvement until such a time as they deemed it newsworthy.--Loisburger 09:29, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Angelfish? edit

Um, I have never heard sea angels referred to as "angelfish". "Angelfish" refers to freshwater angelfish or marine angelfish, not sea angels. Wouldn't that be kind of confusing to the average reader? Although, I HAVE heard of sea angels referred to as "cliones". ForestAngel (talk) 02:44, 19 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Exclusively saltwater?? edit

The article makes no mention of ocean/marine, saltwater, freshwater, or brackish, so I am curious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.129.151.101 (talk) 00:16, 22 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Merger proposal edit

Propose merge with Clionidae. Much duplicate information on what, as far as i can tell, is the same group of fauna. If i am taxonomically confused, remove tag Jebus989 (talk) 13:26, 24 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

I will remove the tag and try to make this clearer in the intros. There are in fact two superfamilies within the clade Gymnosomata, containing 6 families. All of these are known as sea angels. Like many common names, sea angel is not at all a precise term. Invertzoo (talk) 17:15, 10 January 2010 (UTC)Reply


Questionable popular culture references edit

I read on the sea angel page that there are a few pokemon with similar appearance, a few monsters in a videogame look like them and a 4chan kid draws snails. There is also a broken link showing it.

Wouldn't it be more decent to not have such useless crap on a scientific page?
