### **Description:**

The Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish, *Dendrochirus brachypterus*, is a small species of Lionfish unlocked at **prestige rank 5**.

The Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish is the smaller relative of the Volitans Lionfish, but is just as venomous. It is an ambush predator of fish and shrimps, and is found on reefs in the Indo-Pacific. They are prized for aquarium display, but due to their venom care must be taken during feeding, handling and maintenance.

They must not be captured with a net, as their spines may become entangled in the mesh. Care must be taken to ensure that they are not housed with any animals that can fit in their mouth, as they will be eaten.

This species has the **Least Concern** status given by the IUCN.

Big Bellied Seahorse

* In-Game
* Wild

### In-Game Description

> "*The Big Bellied is the largest of the Seahorse Family. As with all Seahorses, it is the male who gives birth to the babies.*"
>
>
>

### **Description:**

The Big Bellied Seahorse, *Hippocampus abdominalis,* is a large species of Seahorse unlocked at **prestige rank 10.**

The Big Bellied Seahorse is one of the largest seahorse species, growing to 35cm in length. Found in Australia and New Zealand, they can be identified by their enlarged stomach area, which gives the Big Bellied Seahorse it's name. Like all seahorses, they are poor swimmers, using their unique prehensile tail to hold onto seaweeds and corals. Each eye can move independently like a chameleon.

Despite the myth that male seahorses are the ones who get pregnant, this is untrue. The eggs are in fact laid by the female seahorse into the male's pouch, where he then looks after them until they hatch. Baby seahorses have very high mortality rates in the wild, less than 1% of baby seahorses will ever reach adulthood. However, in an aquarium environment, where there are no predators and food is plentiful, survival rates are much higher, with 95% reaching adulthood. Many Big Bellied Seahorses displayed at public aquariums and in private collections are captive bred.

Seahorses can change the colour of their skin, such as during courtship., or when they are moved to a new environment. It is not unknown for people to purchase a seahorse from an aquarium shop, and then for it to completely change colour after it is added to it's new tank.

This species has the **Least Concern** status given by the IUCN.

### **In-Game Description:**

> ***"These iridescent shoalers hail from the Congo River Basin in Africa, where they eat insects scooped from the water's surface."***
>
>

The **Congo Tetra** (*Phenacogrammus interruptus*) is a species of tetra introduced in the Freshwater Frenzy DLC. It is unlocked at rank 6.

Congo Tetras are native to the Congo River in Central Africa and its tributaries, where it inhabits open water with large amounts of benthic and floating vegetation and driftwood logs and branches. In the wild, Congo Tetras feed on algae, zooplankton and small invertebrates. In human care, they will readily eat a variety of pellet and frozen foods, but will also hunt live foods when offered. Congo Tetras need clean water, as bad water quality will affect fin development in male tetras and lead to loss of coloration. They are a peaceful species, and should be kept with other small and medium-sized fish to avoid conflict.

The Congo tetra is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

### **Description:**

Angel Sharks are a group of Shark species known for their flat bodies and their bottom-dwelling lifestyles. The one represented in-game is the northeastern Atlantic species, *Squatina squatina. It can be unlocked at* **prestige rank 11***.*

A critically endangered carpet shark. Because of their flattened body, they are easily mistaken for rays. Much like the Tasselled Wobbegong, they are ambush predators, relying on camouflage to avoid detection. They are threatened by overfishing, and, like many sharks, reproduce slowly, meaning their populations cannot recover quickly. It is also known as Monkfish, a name it shares with a type of anglerfish.

Although generally peaceful, the Angel Shark may lash out at divers that grab it's tail, wave hands or feet near it's face or generally disturb it.

The **Japanese Spider Crab** (*Macrocheira kaempferi*) is a crustacean introduced in the Architect's Collection DLC. It is unlocked at rank 11.

The Japanese Spider Crab is a deepwater dwelling crab, found in the Pacific Ocean from Northern Japan to Taiwan at a depth range of 50 to 600 m (160 to 1,970 ft). Japanese Spider Crabs have the greatest leg span of any known arthropod, reaching up to 3.7 m (12.1 ft) from claw to claw when fully grown. Japanese Spider Crabs are so large, they have to camouflage themselves in a way that disguises their entire structure rather than blending into their environment.

The Japanese Spider Crab is an omnivore that feeds either by scraping the ocean floor for plants and algae or prying open the shells of mollusks. Japanese Spider Crabs will occasionally scavenge the carcasses of dead animals.

The Japanese Spider Crab has not been evaluated by the IUCN. However, conservation efforts aim to protect these creatures and their population from overfishing, as they are considered a delicacy in Japan.

### **Description:**

The Green Turtle, *Chelonia mydas,* is a large and peaceful reptile that enjoys lots of plants in its tank. It can be unlocked at **prestige rank 11.**

The Green Turtle is one of the most popular species of turtle in the world. They spend most of their life travelling across long distances in the ocean, moving between feeding areas and beaches where they lay their eggs.

The name if Green Turtle comes not from their colour of their shell (even though in Megaquarium they are green), but from the colour of their fat, which is green from their diet of seagrasses. In the wild, they are occasionally accompanied by Remoras, which attach to the turtle's shell.

Their feeding behaviour has proven to be helpful to their ecosystem, trimming only the top of the seagrass and other plants, leaving the roots intact. Their decline in population has unfortunately been because of humans.

This species has the **Endangered** status given by the IUCN.

>
>

### **Description:**

The Volitans Lionfish, *Pterois volitans*, also known as the Red Lionfish, is a weird-looking species of fish unlocked at **prestige rank 4**.

Well known for their large and beautiful fins, the Volitans Lionfish can be quite dangerous when threatened, as it's gorgeous fins conceal venomous spines. Although the venom is not deadly enough to kill a healthy person, it is still extremely painful, and immediate medical attention should be sought if stung.

In the wild, they eat small fishes and crustaceans, but should be weaned on to frozen food in an aquarium. They may be reluctant to take dead food at first, but attaching it to a bit of cotton string and jiggling it around can help to get them eating. Due to their predatory habits, they should not be housed with small fish, but will get along well with other medium-sized predatory fish, such as smaller groupers and porcupinefish.

Lionfish have become invasive in some areas, such as Florida, where they were likely released from aquariums into waters in which they are not native, with their voracious appetite decimating local reefs. Because of this, some restaurants are pushing the consumption of these fish as a way to get rid of the problem. Despite their venomous spines, the flesh is quite safe to eat, but the spines must be removed by a experienced chef first. Their ease of care and bizarre appearance make them a common sight at public aquariums.

This species has the **Least Concern** status given by the IUCN.

### Trivia

* Of all the diving ducks, Long-tailed Ducks log the most time underwater. During foraging excursions, they spend 3 or 4 times as long underwater as on the surface.
* The Long-tailed Duck has an unusual pattern and timing to molting its feathers. Technically, the feathers it wears in winter are its "breeding" plumage. In the spring it molts into what is technically the "nonbreeding" plumage, and it wears this all summer. Most ducks molt into nonbreeding plumage for only a brief period in late summer.
* The oldest recorded Long-tailed Duck was a female, and at least 17 years old when she was found in Alaska.

### **Description:**

The Copperband Butterflyfish, *Chelmon rostratus,* is an extremely hard-to care species, and therefore can be unlocked at **prestige rank 10**.

Also known as the Beaked Coralfish, the Copperband Butterflyfish is one of the most highly prized fish for display in marine aquariums. However, it is extremely delicate and even experts may struggle to keep it alive and healthy. It requires excellent water quality and is an extremely picky eater, and may never take to aquarium foods. Most Copperbands kept in aquariums die within a month, mostly due to starvation. Never buy this fish unless you can dedicate lots of time and money to keep it alive and healthy. Their distinctive long snout it used to pluck invertebrates from crevices in rock.

Like many butteflyfishes, it has an 'eye spot' near it's tail, and its real eye is hidden with a stripe. This serves to make predators to strike from behind, allowing the Copperband to wriggle away more easily.

The Copperband Butterflyfish is considered the mascot of Megaquarium, it appears in the logo and the flag at the entrance of every aquarium!

>
>

### **Description:**

The Manta Ray is a small group of species of Ray containing only 2 very similar extant species. The one represented in-game is the Reef Manta Ray, *Mobula alfredi,* and it can be unlocked at **prestige rank 12**.

The Manta Ray is a large relative of the Eagle Rays found in temperate, tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. Mantas are pelagic and filter feed, unlike many rays that live in shallow water and feed on crustaceans and molluscs. In the past, they were known as 'devilfish' and were believed to cause ships to sink. In reality, however, they are peaceful filter-feeders, and can even be quite friendly to divers. Due to their active lifestyle, they flap their wings vertically, which is more efficient than the rippling swimming style of other rays.

Colour morphs of Manta Rays exist, such as all-black individuals, and even pink. Only one pink Manta has ever been found, nicknamed Inspector Clouseau, found near Lady Elliot Island. Every Manta Ray has a unique pattern of spots on it's belly, so it is possible to identify individuals. Their distictive 'horns', known as cephalic fins, serve to direct water flow into their mouth, aiding filter-feeding.

There are several locations where large numbers of Mantas congregate every year to feed on seasonal plankton blooms. Unfortunately, they are under threat of poaching, as their gill rakers are prized in Chinese medicine. Few aquariums are able to house Manta Rays because of their size and difficulty of care. However, there has been a Manta born in captivity, at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan. Unfortunately, the baby did not survive.

### **Description:**

The Tasseled Wobbegong Shark, *Eucrossorhinus dasypogon,* is a large species of Carpet Shark available to unlock at **prestige rank 9.**

It can be found on tropical reefs in Australia and Papua New Guinea. They are ambush predators, sometimes moving their tail like a small fish to lure larger prey. They spend most of their time motionless on the seafloor. They are commonly kept in aquariums in Australia, but are less common elsewhere.

Their large size and predatory nature means they cannot be kept with small fish, but will peacefully coexist with larger sharks and rays. However, due to it's incredible camouflage, it often goes unnoticed in larger tanks. They do very well in captivity, and have been captive bred. They are not considered a dangerous shark, but will bite if threatened. The name Wobbegong comes from a local Aboriginal word meaning "shaggy beard", from the distinctive tassels that circle the head. These tassels serve to improve the shark's camouflage, by mimicking seagrass or algae, and breaking up the Wobbegong's outline.

The name in-game is a typo (Tassled Wobbegong Shark).

The Frilled Anemone, *Metridium dianthus*, is a small, white-colored Anemone unlocked at **prestige rank 6.**

Frilled Anemone is found found on the northwest coasts of Europe from the Bay of Biscay north to Norway and Iceland. It also occurs on the east and west coasts of North America and has arrived in South African waters. It is found on the lower shore and the neritic zone at depths down to about 100 m.

It can grow up to 30 cm tall and a base diameter of 15 cm and a similar tentacle span. It adheres to rocks, boulders, man-made structures, pebbles and shells. It favours places where the current is strong. Smaller forms inhabit the lower shore where they are found under stones, beneath overhangs and in shaded places. It specially favours soft rocks, honeycombed by molluscs, and the underside of large boulders. At greater depths, the larger forms are sometimes abundant on pilings, submerged pipes, pier supports and harbour walls.

In the English Channel the anemones are often brought up when trawling in shallow waters for oysters and scallops. One oyster was found to have twenty anemones crowded onto its shell. Its diet largely consists of copepods, worm larvae, mollusc larvae, ascidian larvae, amphipods and barnacle larvae.

The Green Moray Eel, *Gymnothorax funebris,* is a large predatory species of Eel,it can be unlocked at **prestige rank 7**, at this point it will not have many possible companions in its tank, due to its size and predation.

This Eel can be found along the Eastern American Coast and Caribbean region, hiding in caves formed by rocks and coral reefs. This species can quickly become a top predator of its territory because of their voracity and ambush-like attacks. They can also avoid possible predators by hiding in unreachable places among the rocks. The Green Moray's skin is not actually green, the colouration comes from a thick layer of green mucus that covers the eel's body. Morays have two sets of jaws, one in the mouth and a second in the throat. The eels use this to better grip their food and to assist in swallowing. Divers should be careful to not place their hands or feet in or near holes in the reef, as morays may mistake them for it's normal prey and bite and not let go. Moray bites are dangerous due to the high likelihood of infection (they have poor dental hygiene) and some species are potentially venomous. Due to the high risk of ciguatera poisoning, moray eels should not be eaten. The Green Moray should not be confused with the Yellow Moray (*Gymnothorax prasinus*), a similar species from Australia and New Zealand, which is also known as the Green Moray.

This species has the **Least Concern** status given by the IUCN.

## Example Trait View

The Eastern Long-Necked Turtle has 18 traits - the most of any animal in the game

Special Traits are a series of factors that add additional care requirements to a species on top of the basic requirements of food, temperature and water quality. They act to simulate each species natural behaviours and needs, and broadly include feeding modifiers, habitat requirements, interactions with tank-mates and factors influencing predation and breeding.

   This icon indicates traits that were added with the Freshwater Frenzy update. Some of them are exclusive to Freshwater animals.

The body of the female is predominantly yellow with a lavender belly, and often a thin blue line extending from nose to pectoral fin. Males are predominantly pink with a lavender belly and have a lighter rectangular shape on the side. Anthias species all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. If a dominant male perishes, the largest female of the group will often morph to take its place.

Greater Blue Ring Octopus

* In-Game
* Wild

### **In-Game Description:**

> ***"Don't be distracted by this octo's beauty. It carries enough venom in a single bite to kill twenty six adult humans."***
>
>

### **Description:**

The Greater Blue Ring Octopus, *Hapalochlaena lunulata,* is a small and bright-colored Cephalopod unlocked at **prestige rank 11.**

A small but extremely venomous octopus species. Found on coral and rocky reefs in the Indo-Pacific. All octopuses are venomous to some extent, but the Blue Ring is infamous for having venom potent enough to kill an adult person.

The bite is painless and there is no known antidote. For this reason the Blue Ringed Octopus should never be handled. The venom used by the Blue Ring is tetrodotoxin, the same as that of pufferfish. If a bite from a Blue Ring is suspected, seek immediate medical attention.

The distinctive blue rings only show when the octopus is excited or threatened. There are four species of Blue Rings, all of which look fairly similar. They feed on small crustaceans, but may also eat fish if the opportunity arises.

This species has the **Least Concern** status given by the IUCN.

Goblin Shark

### In-game Description

***"Soft pink skin and a jaw that can extend outwards in seconds to hook prey with nail-like teeth, give this shark its truly bizarre appearance."***

The **Goblin Shark** (*Mitsukurina owstoni*) is a Mackerel Shark added to Megaquarium in the Deep Freeze expansion. It is unlocked at Rank 12.

### Real life information

The Goblin Shark is best identified by its long flat snout and long teeth which are visible when the shark's mouth is closed. Its skin is pink or tan due to the visibility of blood vessels beneath its skin. It was first described in 1898 from a juvenile specimen caught in Sagami Bay off the coast of Japan and for some time, was believed to be a synonym of the Mesozoic genus *Scapanorhynchus*, before being moved to the genus *Mitsukurina* as originally described. Since then, Goblin Sharks have been caught in deep waters off California, the Gulf of Mexico, eastern South America, Western Europe, West and Southern Africa, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Southern Australia, and New Zealand. They are typically recorded on the upper continental slope and in submarine canyons between depths of 270-1,300 meters (890-4,300 feet) deep, although immature sharks have been recorded in the submarine canyons off southern Japan in water as shallow as 100 meters (330 feet). The Goblin Shark feeds on bony fishes such as grenadiers and dragonfishes, cephalopods, and crustaceans. Since it is not adapted for swimming fast, Goblin Sharks are ambush predators, extending their jaws in a "slingshot" manner to capture prey.

Because of the depths the Goblin Shark inhabits, it poses little danger to humans. They have a poor survival rate in captivity, only living up to a week in human care at most. Despite rarely being seen by humans, the Goblin Shark is listed as **Least Concern** on the IUCN Red List.
