ups...it is called Ocean Sunfish not Moonfish (my direct translation from German name "Mondfisch")

They have two in the aquarium in Genova! Not far from Portofino.
Sunfish are widespread in temperate waters. They are commonly sighted off the UK. The difficulty is finding places where they are reliably sighted.
