Dunk’s “little cousin” Mo, a giant sunfish, comes to visit. Sunfish, or Mola, are giant fish in the pufferfish family who can get up to 14x10 feet and 5000 pounds big. They are clumsy swimmers, and the biggest bony fish in the ocean. No matter your size, big or small, there’s always room for one more in Reeftown!

Hey, Dunk, your cousin's here.
- Yeah?
Where?
- Right behind ya!
- Hello!
- Mo?
- Oh, hi, Cuz!
I'd recognize that puffing anywhere!
- You're Mo?
- Yep.
That's me!
- Dunk's little cousin?
- The same.
You know how it goes, Cousin Dunk.
They grow 'em big on my side of the family.
- Welcome to Reeftown, Mo!
These are my friends, Splash, Ripple, and Bubbles.
- Hi, Mo!
- Hola, Mo!
- Hi, Mo!
- Hi, everyone!
It's great to meet you all.
- Oh, you too.
Wait a minute!
I've seen a fish like you before!
You're a Mola mola, or an ocean sunfish, right?
- Right!
- Yeah!
And since Mola mola's and puffer fish are like cousins, you're both round and smiley!
- Round and smiley!
- That's us.
both: Eeh!
- And your mouths-- you have the same kind of teeth.
- Nice smile, Dunk.
- Thanks, Mo.
You too!
- Yeah, ocean sunfish and their relatives can even live in very different places in the ocean.
And one can grow very big, and others can stay Dunk-size.
- All correct, Splash.
Plus, fin fact!
My name, Mo, is short for Mola Mola.
[laughter] - That is a financial fact!
- Ooo!
Let's go!
I can't wait to show you around and play!
- But maybe I'm too big to play with you guys.
How will I fit?
- Don't worry, Mo.
We'll make it work!
- Yeah, there's always room for one more in Reeftown.
- No matter what your size!
- Come on, Mo!
