i saw that video of the mola mola next to a scuba diver and went "ohhhh beautiful creature." though its partially because iv been through the Training of considering everything to have beauty despite nonconventionality. anyway do you have any species of sunfish you think are the prettiest nonconventionally

Oh yes, the video makes the sunfish appear HUMONGOUS at first! They’re big, but not quite that big ^^’ Exciting question! I think all the ocean sunfishes are good-looking in their own ways but my favourite in terms of looks would have to be sharptail sunfish. Perhaps my reasoning is exactly the sort of conventionally attractive reasoning you did not ask about but I enjoy their sleekness and their countershading patterns. They also have a pseudo-tail which I think is a cool and unique detail! It stands out among the ocean sunfishes.
