Glory unto those who would honor our lord with murals of his splendor. Praise be unto Ocean Sunfish!

Praise be unto him.

💙 ¡Hola mola! 👋

We recently welcomed a new ocean sunfish (Mola mola) to our Open Sea Exhibit. Just like the fintastic travelers that visit Monterey Bay, our ocean sunfish is making a splash as a delightful, albeit temporary, guest at the Aquarium!

When a sunfish reaches a weight of approximately 500 pounds (230 kg) or exhibits behavioral changes signaling their readiness to go, we release them back into the wild, equipped with tags. In our collaborative scientific community, where research involves public participation, these tags play a crucial role. They enable us to track their growth if encountered by anyone—including you—in the future.

The duration of a sunfish’s visit to the Aquarium remains a mystery, but for now, let's marvel at the majestic mola moments  while we muse on the mosaic of marine magic!

Fangtooth fish, a terrible predator, was found in the deep sea! The deepest place on earth Mariana Trench

Megalodon is an extinct species of shark that lived on earth between 2 million and 3 million years ago. It was the largest predatory shark, with a length of 55 feet. Megalodon usually preyed on whales, dolphins and other large marine animals. Megalodon is often referred to as the "giant of the sea". But there are thousands of unknown animals under the sea, which are more dangerous than Megalodon. The bite of which is sure to kill. Today we are going to learn about the most dangerous animals in the world's deepest place in the Pacific Ocean, the Mariana Trench, which cannot be found anywhere else in the world.Read more...

Image by @jim_abernethy // A beautiful Mola Mola aka Ocean Sunfish allows a photographer to get some up close pictures off the coast of Palm Beach Florida! This bizarre shaped fish has many very interesting facts about them! They can grow up to 5,000 lbs! They lay more eggs than any other vertebrate animal...roughly 300,000,000. They have been found as deep as 2600 feet. They are voracious predators feeding mostly on jellyfish. I've been very fortunate to have seen quite a few so far and it is always a very positive life changing experience! It's quite incredible to be with such a large and bizarre creature. What do you think of these unique creatures? Enjoy but please protect! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #sunfish #mola #beautiful #epic #love #gorgeous #unique #bizarre #oceansunfish https://www.instagram.com/p/CUt0PvMAqH9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fan art Friday post! @sophieandtoffee said their succulent box miniatures gave off Animal Crossing vibes, so I made the Seat of Cursed Knowledge (S.O.C.K.) from the @montereybayaquarium Animal Crossing streams 🦋 Even though I recently finished a Master's program for oceanography, I feel very much like I'm still just the cartography person and have a lot to learn for my job. I look forward to listening to Emily and Patrick's enthusiasm for sharing information about biology and museums - even the gross parts on tapeworms and stingers 😂 You can find their previous streams on their Twitch and YouTube channels, and I'm so excited for their stream guests today! . . . #polymerclay #theelvesbox #animalcrossing #acnh #sophieandtoffee #sophieandtoffeeclub #myfimo #sculpey #montereybayaquarium #vampiresquid #puffin #molamola #oceansunfish #terrarium #ocean #blathers #butterfly #miniature #resincraft #uvresin #resin #succulents https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKQ58Kg2qx/?igshid=1sah0ywlaft91

Small Sunfish Embroidery Hoop 🎣🐟 Inspired by the Ocean Sunfish you can catch in Animal Crossing! 😊 My favourite activity in Animal Crossing has always been fishing! I remember that back in Wild World, I always had a Sunfish in a huge aquarium in my house. I loved it! This is a small 11cm embroidery hoop. I did all the stitching and the design by myself. I really hope I can do more embroidery soon! Did you know that a Sunfish is actually a "Moonfish" in German? What's it called in your language? 🐠 . . . . . #embroidery #embroideryhoop #embroidered #handembroidered #stitch #stickerei #needleandthread #sunfish #oceansunfish #sea #molamola #mondfisch #animalcrossingcommunity #animalcrossingart #animalcrossing #fishing #handmade #selfmade #diy #art #needlepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/BuHaC-WhrBn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=atqpvhz8a7l3
