Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The films begins with a couple of anemonefish finding a new anemone to live in. The striped fish finally find a perfect spot with an ocean view, the perfect place to raise a family. By what other, more common name is the anemonefish known?

Answer: Clownfish

Though most often the clownfish is viewed as an orange fish with white and black bars, there are actually over 30 species of clownfish recognized. The designs vary in color and pattern, but the orange clownfish is the most widely recognized species (also the species of Marlin, Nemo, and Coral in the film).
2. Not long after finding a new home, Marlin and Coral were attacked by a fearsome predator. The long, eel-like fish with an underbite and extremely sharp teeth ate Coral and all but one little egg... Nemo. What kind of fish is described?

Answer: Barracuda

Of the 27 species of barracuda, the great barracuda is perhaps the most easily recognized. Barracudas are scavenging fish, and therefore have been known to bite humans. They view the human as a predator, following them for food. That's when they bite (thinking they're going to get a morsel of food falling from the mouth).
3. The scariest day for a parent arrives, and Nemo goes to his first day of school. There he befriends three other students. One such friend was Tad, a forcepfish. Of course, the forcepfish may be more recognized by another name. What is it?

Answer: Butterflyfish

The forcepfish is a species of butterflyfish, more specifically a yellow longnose butterflyfish. I find its Hawaiian name quite humorous. Lauwiliwilinukunukuʻoiʻoi means "long nosed fish shaped like a wiliwili leaf".
4. Nemo also met a cute little octopus named Pearl at school. She made a particular species a bit more known than it was before. The flat appearance gives it its name. What octopus is it?

Answer: Flapjack Octopus

Not much is known of the flapjack octopus (also called the flapjack devilish). Pearl from "Finding Nemo" made the species a bit more known, though they live a bit deeper in the ocean than the film portrays.
5. Nemo has Mr. Ray for a teacher, who is, coincidentally, a stingray. However, there are quite a few different species of stingray. and the spotted teacher of Nemo is a maylan. What kind of ray is he?

Answer: Eagle ray

Mr. Ray is a spotted eagle ray, a species of stingray with one of the longest tail lengths. The snout looks like the bill of a duck, and can be found throughout most of the world's seas, but not venturing too far from shore (they like shallow waters and reefs).
6. After Nemo ventures too far, and becomes fishnapped, Marlin goes after him. He meets what is perhaps the most loved character of the movie, Dory. She is a blue fish with yellow fins and a black design. What kind of fish is Dory?

Answer: Blue tang

Dory is a regal blue tang, a popular (and one of the most recognized) aquarium fish. The blue tang is a species of surgeonfish.

After the success of "Finding Nemo", I found that the blue tang, whose name was previously not known by many, had begun to be affectionately known as the "Dory fish".
7. After losing a diving mask into the deep trenches of the ocean, Marlin and Dory travel down there where they find a bright light in the darkness. They play with it, and are baited into a fish's mouth with it (don't worry, they escape). The fish hunts this way in real life as well. What is it called?

Answer: Anglerfish

The anglerfish is a fish that dwells very deep in the ocean where it is typically darker than pitch black (if that's possible!). It has a ball on the end of an appendage on its head that is able to produce a glow through bioluminescence. It uses this bright light to attract fish into its awaiting jaws.
8. Marlin and Dory meet a group of fingerfish in their travels, who taunt Marlin and play games with Dory. The school of silver fish help point the way to Sydney. By what name is the school of "sea angels" also known?

Answer: Moonfish

The moonfish is generally triangular and has a dark silver body with yellow tinged throughout. It is also called a moony, Malayan angel, or fingerfish, and called "sea angel" when in aquariums.
9. Nemo befriends quite a number of aquarium fish when he is captured by P. Sherman. My personal favorite in this group of fish is Gil, the leader. He has black and white stripes and there is a yellow patch near his backside. What species found in P. Sherman's tank is Gil?

Answer: Moorish idol

The Moorish idol gets its name from the place where it is known as a bringer of happiness, the Moors of Africa. It is one of the most widely recognized fish kept in aquariums, and as such is used in many ocean designs. I once had a fish-themed bathroom, and this particular fish was the most frequent species found in the bathroom related items such as soap dispenser and toothbrush holder.

However, it does not live as long as most other aquarium fish, and is fairly sensitive.
10. After finally rescuing Nemo, the fish come across a school of fish being captured by fishermen. They save the giant mass of fish by swimming down. The fish they save have incredibly strong gills, and can lock themselves tightly in a cave with said gills. They also have strong vacuum-like mouths, sucking in prey and digging in sand with their suction. What fish was found in this large group?

Answer: Grouper

Groupers typically eat whole fish, rather than biting. They can pull in prey with their powerful sucking power, and they also use this feature to dig in the sand. They suck the sand in and expel it through their gills. Speaking of gills, their gill muscles are so powerful that it becomes almost impossible to remove them from their self-dug cave home if they feel threatened.

Interestingly, they have also been known to hunt mutually with moray eels.
