Listen you ****ing amateurs...the finest fish in the ocean is Paracentropyge boylei, or the Peppermint Angel. It makes your entries look like freshwater fish.

Looks like there's a cold front moving in from the North.
Now I know why I've never visited Niagra Falls.
Well gotta go and check on my "freshwater fish".

ha ha ha.

swreefer, thank god you have a sense of humor and a cheek for someone to kiss (ie butt)!

I do think sunfish, or mola mola are rare, but like whales, they can be found in some spots with regularity because of their feeding habits (which I think are planktonic?).

I've always thought they were one of the weirdest creatures!

Hey Brian,
the oceanic sunfish (Mola mola) feeds mainly on pelagic jellyfish, ctenophores, and hydrozoans (I think Velella's)

 

[rondaw3]

My vote would be for one of the following:
Powder Blue Tang
Emperor Angel
Clown Trigger
Blue Face Angel

 

[outerbank]

WOW Dr. Reef!! I have heard that those sunfish are very rare!! Where was that shot taken? They occasionally wash up dead on the nearby South Texas Gulf shoreline.

Emporer angel or a potter's angel

 

[Easy]

Piccaso Trigger
Fu Manchu Lion
Blue Boxfish
Firefish Goby
