Food is provided via plasma, which is more abundant than anything else. Everywhere you look is plasma in our solar system. In the upper atmosphere (the ionosphere) is an unlimited supply.
Warmth is not needed when you are not biological. Think outside the box.
Nice signature.

The operative phrase there is "as you know and understand it". Given such an understanding i could not say i disagree with you. However, the way i understand it, it is not only possible but very probable. Life will form anywhere that it can, in any form that it can.

Have you considered EM effects and the possible propulsion such a creature could find useful in the environment it was designed for? Consider that the disks and blobs could have some antigrav effects in play (think "coanda") just by virtue of their physiology. The worms seem to live lower in the atmosphere where they have some amount of elemental atmosphere as well as plasma. This would allow for a completely different type of locomotion need.
Even flounder are designed differently, as are many others. Consider a jelly or man'o war. Now consider the EM effects on these atmospheric creatures by nature of their physiology and diet.
You don't have to think it probable to believe it possible.
