Ecology
This nudibranch is pelagic in a similar way to the nudibranch Glaucus atlanticus. 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.
