New deep sea creatures in Animal Crossing in September

In the month of September, these deep sea creatures will be arriving for the first time. They can be sold for various amounts of bells or donated to the museum to complete the collection.

• Oyster- 2,000 bells
• Turban shell- 1,000 bells
• Chambered nautilus- 1,800 bells
• Umbrella octopus- 6,000 bells
• Sweet shrimp- 1,400 bells

Those deep sea creatures can bring in a lot of profit for Animal Crossing players. Unfortunately, these creatures have now left as a result of the month change and are no longer available for catching.

Those sea creatures can no longer be found this month, but will eventually return. All critters in Animal Crossing come and go in cycles, so it's not a permanent exit. However, Animal Crossing players should prioritize these deep sea creatures because they will be leaving after September ends and won't be back for a while.

• Sea grapes- 900 bells
• Sea urchin- 1,700 bells
• Slate pencil urchin- 2,000 bells
• Moon jellyfish- 600 bells
• Gigas giant clam- 15,000 bells

• Tiger prawn- 3,000 bells
• Horseshoe crab- 2,500 bells
• Flatworm- 700 bells

If bells is what players are looking for, then these deep sea creatures will be the best ones to find. Many of these are available for multiple months, but don't wait around to find out.

• Gigas giant clam- 15,000 bells
• Umbrella octopus- 6,000 bells
• Giant isopod- 12,000 bells
• Tiger prawn- 3,000 bells
