Ocean sunfish, or Mola mola, are generally solitary creatures and do not typically swim in groups. They are often found alone or occasionally in pairs. However, they may gather in certain areas for feeding or during breeding seasons, but these instances are not considered true schooling behavior. Their solitary nature is a distinctive feature of their lifestyle in the ocean.
The ocean sunfish, Mola mola, is not a plankton. Its a nekton which means it has the ability to swim and direct itself through waters. It can decide where to go and can fight against some ocean currents. Plankton cannot do this, they drift along with the currents.
With even 1000 kg and more the ocean sunfish is known as the heaviest fish with bones today. Actually the body looks oval and he has neither a swim bladder nor caudal fin.
Yes, Ocean Sunfish do have a spine.
Ocean sunfish are native to the temperate and tropical waters in every ocean in the world. Sunfish swim at depths of up to 600 m (2,000 ft). Sunfish spend much of their time basking at the surface; research suggests that adult M. mola actually spend large depths greater than 200 M (660 ft). ps:Joyce L. was here Jan'6'2011 : ]
