How the hoodwinker got its nameThe hoodwinker sunfish was found on a beach in California. One species that was thought to be rare was very common, while another fish thought to be common was misidentified, she said. A fish biologist commented and alerted Ralph Foster, a fish scientist and the fish curator at the South Australian Museum. It was Foster who first said this may be a hoodwinker sunfish and not an ocean sunfish in the comments on iNaturalist. "I'm a professor, I'm a biologist but I didn't actually know what was special about this fish," Turner said.
