My wife and I were kayaking in Monterey Bay a few years ago and the Sea Lions were playing Frisbee with a couple of juvenile Mola Mola. One of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

^^ So are they flat then, like a halibut? I was having trouble putting the thing together and picking out body parts....I assumed it was the angle of the shot...I'll google it...

They're more like a giant Bluegill - the common name is "Ocean Sunfish". The ones I saw were about the size of a platter, maybe ten pounds tops.

Yeah, having seen a differently angled photo, I totally know what that is! lol. They had a bit on them somewhere in Blue Planet. Random, I know, but that's the association.

I love mola's, they used to have one at the Camden Aquarium in the main tank, so cool!
