Sheephead Fish

Ohio History
A Sheep or a Fish?
If you thought the Four-eyes was strange, check out this fish! I think the name, the California Sheephead, fits it 100%. Except this fish is even bigger than the head of a sheep! Despite the annoying reflections in the photograph, you can see the brilliant pink stripe on its back and its pink eye. The Sheephead can live up to 50 years and eats crabs, lobsters, and sea urchins. If I remember right, this fish was living in the Shore Waters tunnel aquarium.
Below is a very pretty fish we saw in the Shore Gallery. I don't know its name but it could be an angelfish. It loved to swim around so it was very hard to get a nice picture of this one.
What Is This Cute Fish Called?

Amazing how the eye matches the stripe.
