    Fiona pinnata, common name Fiona, is a species of small pelagic nudibranch (sea slug), a marine gastropod mollusk in the superfamily Fionoidea. This nudibranch species lives worldwide on floating objects on seas, and feeds mainly on barnacles, specifically goose barnacles in the genus Lepas . The anatomy of this species is very unusual.
    Fiona pinnata is found in all seas worldwide, on many different kinds of floating objects. The type locality is the island location of Sitka, Alaska ( Baranof Island ), on the extreme northwestern coast of North America.
    Unlike some other pelagic animals, this species cannot swim or even float in water by itself, thus although it is pelagic, it is not considered to be planktonic . Fiona pinnata has even been found on both adult and juvenile loggerhead sea turtles from the Canary Islands.
