The common sunfish is one of the largest bony fish in the world. Its body looks like a large flat disk with high fins, and instead of a tail, there is a wide skin fold.
The moonfish stands out from other fish with its enormous size, lack of a tail, and record amount of roe. It helps control the jellyfish population in the ocean and serves as a host for parasites eaten by seabirds.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
