Ecology

Found in shallow reef areas. It eats small benthic animals and seaweed.It is seen as a dead migratory fish along the Kanto coast.

Habitat

Miura Peninsula Arasaki

I found him swimming alone in Arasaki after the typhoon passed. It was a small individual, and foraged while drifting between rock crevices. There is no group nearby, so it may be an individual that has wandered into the area.
