Hoopfish (Subnautica)

The Hoopfish is a very common type of life form belonging to the fauna category. It lives in almost every biome.

The Hoopfish is fairly easy to catch, as it doesn't retreat upon being approached by the player, and is easily recognized due to its bright bioluminescent glows.

Cooked Hoopfish has moderate food properties.

Appearance
The Hoopfish has a slim build, featuring a dark violet colored body that gradually transitions into blue towards the head, which has a bright neon green color. It has two green eyes, a small dorsal fin and a caudal fin that wraps around the tail's hoop, emitting a faint purple glow.

The Hoopfish 's most distinct feature is the bright green bioluminescent antennae extending from the top and bottom of its head and bends around its tail, forming a hoop.

Data Bank Entry
Assessment: Edible but meager
 * 1) Small size, school mentality, prey fish
 * 2) Antennae: Rather than swimming this lifeform uses the fine green antennae which encircle its body to alter the composition of the water in front of it, allowing it to 'sail' into the low density space created.

Trivia

 * There is a subspecies of the Hoopfish called Spinefish that mainly dwells the Blood Kelp Zone.
