Sunfish are all fish that belong to the genus Mola (family Molidae). This fish has a shape that looks stump and is shaped like a bullet because of its undeveloped rear fin. As the fish age, the fins actually fold and form a round section called the clavus. Mola in Latin means "millstone", which describes the shape of this fish. Fish in this genus are silver in color and have a rough skin texture.
