Ecology

Commonly found on rocky shores and tidal pools. It swims in shallow water and eats small animals. When it senses danger, it runs backward vigorously.

Habitat

Tidal pools in Arasaki, Miura Peninsula

The waves on the outside of the reef became high, so I took pictures of the creatures in the tidal pools. There were many striped shrimps near the surface of the water, and they approached me when the camera was submerged.
