#CephalopodWeek day 3! Two #nautilus just enjoying some tuna at 250m in Papua New Guinea and this tiny, little #sunfish makes an "annoying" 😀 appearance on the #bruvs! After, it swam back and forth for a couple hours... #savethenautilus

Watching ocean sunfish turn their skin patterns on and off in a matter of seconds is very cool to watch - but makes photo ID super tricky..... https://t.co/ilxpHQd2pQ

We are in LOVE with this clip of a baby ocean sunfish (mola mola) breaching right next to our boat! These fish can reach 14 feet long and weigh 5000 lbs!

Giant Sunfish Larva Identified For The First Time And It's Ludicrously Adorable via @IFLScience: https://t.co/bxQMR11GIQ

[Marianne Nyegaard @SunfishOZNZ]

Excitingly we have just genetically identified the first ever larva of the 'giant sunfish' (Mola alexandrini). These larvae are exceedingly cute but very hard to come by! https://t.co/fubDVKyjmr

A slight messaging problem- release of iPhone is hundreds of times more read about than global loss of coral reefs! #iccb2017

[Marianne Nyegaard @SunfishOZNZ]

@Saucey_Pants No, it stranded and died - sad, but a very valuable opportunity to collect information hence why we fly thousands of miles when it happens

[Marianne Nyegaard @SunfishOZNZ]
