Welcome to IGN’s ACNH Sea Creatures guide, which features a complete list of all 40 Sea Creatures that are available to find and collect throughout the game, along with their locations, the best time-frames in which you’re most likely to find them, their sell price, and the seasons in which they will appear.

This page is interactive — you can check off each sea creature you catch in the chart below and we’ll save your progress!

Looking for something specific? Click the links below to learn more about Sea Creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Sea Creatures, as the name suggests, are critters you can find at the bottom of the ocean by diving. They have their own Critterpedia page, despite most of them being fish.

Once the Museum is open on your island, you will also have the ability to donate your catches. While you won’t receive any rewards for doing so, your Museum will begin to look pretty neat once it begins to fill up with new finds.

If collecting isn’t your thing and you’re after some extra cash, sea creatures can be sold for Bells. While some critters will be worth more than others, players can use these Bells to purchase furniture and other useful items such as tools.

To catch sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you’ll need to buy a Wet Suit. You can pick one up from Nook’s Cranny for 3,000 Bells.

Once you have the Wet Suit, equip it and dive into the water by pressing A near the ocean. Where you see bubbles, press Y to dive down and you’ll come back up with a sea creature.
