 The mola mola is a fish with many names. In English it is known as the ocean sunfish, in some languages it is known as a moon fish, and the German name Schwimmender Kopf, my personal favorite, translates to swimming head. A swimming fish head is exactly what these gargantuan creatures look like – flattish compressed disks, with dorsal and ventral fins, and a tiny tail. Not much is known about the mola mola, but here are a few facts I could scare up in my research about the fish I most want to dive with.
