Telescopefish have bizarre, tubular eyes that point forward and have large lenses. They feed on plankton and other small animals that live in the mesopelagic to bathypelagic zones of the ocean, from 500 to 3,000 meters below the surface.
Mola Mola
Mola Mola or more commonly known as the ocean sunfish is one of the largest bony fish. They are around 1.8 metres long and can weigh 1,000 kilograms. But they can lay millions of tiny babies smaller than your fingertip!
They do not have a tail. Instead they drift the sea use their large dorsal and anal fins to move. They also have a beak like a bird.
They are called sunfish because they are known to iften go sun bathing at the surface of the water (although in other languages they are known as 'moonfish' because they look like the moon). They may do this because 1) they often have parasites so they will lay on the surface of the water for the birds to peck them off and 2) because they often go deep down into the cold sea to get their food and will sunbathe to warm themselves up again.
These big things are my favourite fish i love them so m uch omg I want an autograph
Please listen to these Sunfish songs they are lovley:

a salmon is more closely related to a camel than a hagfish
Often mistaken for a squid, the cuttlefish possesses a cuttlebone that’s unique among cephalopods. It uses this chambered feature for buoyancy control. Their long, undulating fin helps them hover in the water column, or nimbly move about. But they use jet propulsion if they need to get places fast.
Worldwide there are around 230 species of pipefish🥢. This one, the Gulf Pipefish, Stigmatopora narinosa, can be found in shallow waters in southern #Australia hiding among seaweed stands. ✳️They are believed to have few predators due to their incredible ability to camouflage themselves within these habitats. ❓What’s your favourite species of pipefish? #greatsouthernreef #marinelife #fishfacts #oceanimaging #wildlifephotography #wildlifefan #wildlifelover #wildlifeshots #wildlifelove #ocean #oceans #scuba #underwafer #yorkepeninsula #underwaterphotography
