How To Visually Tell Sea Creatures Apart

Fast Generally Means Rare

A fast creature (one that you can’t catch up to by swimming like an A-Spam) is probably quite rare. This makes it possible to spot rare sea creatures with relative ease. Avoid pressing A unless you want to rush fast creatures. Shadow lengths and velocities can be found in the Sea Creatures Checklist.

Large Moving Shadows Are Rare

A fast-moving, large-shadowed sea creature is extremely unusual. Ignore anything that doesn’t move; it’s probably just a sea anemone or some other kind of seaweed. You should definitely pursue that large shadow you just saw.

How To Get Pearls

Can Get By Diving

Like Sea Creatures, pearls can be acquired by diving to the bottom of the ocean and retrieving them. Their retail value is high because they are in high demand for Do It Yourself Recipes involving Mermaid sets.

Cannot Be Donated To Blathers

Pearls can’t be given to Blathers in the museum because they aren’t Sea Creatures. Instead, they’re used as a raw material for arts and crafts projects.

Get From Pascal

Pascal can be bribed with a scallop whenever he pops up for a chance at a Pearl or a Do-It-Yourself Recipe. You’ll only be able to do this once per day, so make it a habit to go out and find some Scallops.

What are Sea Creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Dive to the depths of the ocean floor and you’ll encounter Sea Creatures. Despite the fact that most of them are fish, they have their own page on Critterpedia.
As soon as the Museum on your island opens, you can contribute specimens you’ve caught. You won’t get anything in return for donating these items, but your Museum will start to look really nice as things start to fill up.
If you’re not into collecting but could use some extra cash, marine life can be exchanged for Bells. Some animals will be worth more than others, but players can still use the Bells they earn to buy beds, tables, and even tools.

How to Catch Sea Creatures

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a Wet Suit is required for catching marine life. It costs 3,000 Bells to purchase directly from Nook’s Cranny, or you can place an order through the Nook Shopping app.
When you are near the ocean, press “A” to put on the Wet Suit and dive in. You can swim in the ocean from the beach, or you can jump off the rocks if you want to.
If you go swimming, you will notice bubbles. Press “Y” to dive down and surface with a sea creature as you swim over the bubbles.
If the shadow starts to move away, you can keep swimming underwater by tapping “A”, and then press ’A’ once you’re above the shadow to catch the evasive creature.
