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 the Spinefish that lives in the Blood Kelp Zone.
