That is one weird fish!
Did you see the moorish idols swiming around it in the 1st video!!??

 

Yeah 3 or 4 of them.... pretty cool!

 

Good thing it is a small mouth in consideration to the rest of the fish

 

definitely a strange fish especially how it swims with both fins switching back and forth in the same direction, you would think it would just fall over!

 

I now know more than I ever thought I would want to know about the Giant Sun Fish or Mola Mola ;D

Sun fish are so cool.
Sad they are falling prey to plastic bags just as turtles are - mistaking them for jellyfish. Amazing that a plastic bag can kill something so huge!

Anyway, VERY COOL LINK. THanks Marc!

 

wow

these are massive hadnt heard of them in specific before
shame we are killing these butiful creatures with carier bags. great reaserch

=)

 

i have only ever seen one washed up on a beach. dead after a storm . They are magnificent looking fish . how old do you think a fish that size would be.
What size skimmer will i need :LolLolLol

 

wow! thats the first time i ever see a fish like that. at first, i couldnt identify where the facial features were, since the dosal and anal fins are so odd. i think it kind of looks like a turtle, only sideways, hehe... did anyone receive the email of all the odd fish discovered after that really bad tsunami in Asia? well, aparently all these unknown species of fish from deep ocean were found on the beaches/land... its a crazy email.
