    Hi KB. The Species is Mecistops cataphractus and they came from Aalborg-Denmark.
    The sunfishes seem no longer present.

    My information (I don't know how accurate is) talks from accidental captures in fisheries.
    And the Species it's exhibited just temporally...

    Here you can read the Google translator translation from l'Oceanogràfic website

    "
    Upon entering the Oceanogràfic Mediterranean facility, the different marine environments represented here will follow the course of your dive and, as your depth increases, you will see before you a sample of a different ecosystem. Starting in the coastal areas with the Posidonia aquarium, passing through the port areas, the infralitoral and the breakwater and ending in the deepest areas of the Mediterranean. In addition, and for a year, you can enjoy the jewel of cold water corals. An aquarium with the largest gorgonians in the Mediterranean, the fluorescent jewel anemone and the threatened red coral.
    "
    ;)
