It is the heaviest known bony fish in the world. It has an almost circular, flattened body. This unusual fish swims by flapping its long pectoral and dorsal fins; the caudal fin is used as a rudder (for steering). Some sunfish have been seen floating on their sides at the top of the sea; they may be using the sun to heat themselves up. They eat [[Crustacea|crustaceans]], [[starfish]], [[jellyfish]], [[Sponge|sponges]], [[Mollusc|mollusks]], [[algae]], [[plankton]], [[squid]], and small fish. The species is native to tropical and temperate waters around the globe. It resembles a fish head with a tail, and its main body is flattened laterally. == Description == === Appearance === The ocean sunfish has an unusual appearance.
