Sunfish!

I'd never heard of the Ocean Sunfish before; we spotted this one on a sampling expedition this week. I'm not sure which species this is, I suspect it's a Mola Mola but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. here are a few photos, and check out this
website for more info:

The fish is lying on its side in the photo above, and from the tail fin shape I think it was a Mola mola (Roundtailed or Common mola).
