Ecology

Comes to the coast in the summer. It reproduces by laying eggs in rock crevices. Catch and eat other fish.

Habitat

Miura Peninsula Arasaki

I took a picture of him swimming alone in a tide pool in Arasaki. A small shoal of sardines was also left behind, and they seemed to be after it. After a while, when the tide came in again, they escaped through a small gap connected to the sea.
