The coelacanth is a fish which was believed to have been extinct since the Cretaceous period. However, in 1938 a curator of a museum found a coelacanth in a catch of fish of a trawler off the coast of South Africa. Since then, they have been noted to appear in Comoros, Mozambique, Tanzania, Madagascar, and even in Indonesia. The fish is blue with silver markings and grows to over six and a half feet long. Its population is estimated to be at a number of around 500
The fish was discovered (found) by the crew of the trawler 'Nerine", not by the curator, Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer, of the East London Museum - she made sure it was saved for science! Coelacanths are also found in South Africa and Kenya and it is steel blue/grey with white to pale pink spots and blotches in patterns unique to the individual. The population is unknown - the estimate of 500 or less was guesswork following surveys in the Comoro Islands. It is quite clear that, although nowhere abundant, the coelacanth is widely distributes throughout the western Indian Ocean.
The Coelacanth lives in the Indian Ocean, and can be found in both South Africa and Indonesia.

I think you mean a coelacanth. A coelacanth is a type of fish once thought to be prehistoric. However it is still living today. This is a rather large fish with many fins. You can look up pictures of the coelacanth on google images.

Sharks or big sea creatures.
To catch a coelacanth, it must be raining or snowing- anything else is not suitable weather for the coelacanth. Just search in the ocean from night to morning, and if the fish is large, it should be a coelacanth.
yes, the coelacanth is older than the dinosaurs.
