Habitat
Miura Peninsula Arasaki
When I was swimming on the reef of Arasaki, I saw an individual swimming near the bottom of the water, so I took a picture of it. The depth of the water is about 3m, and when I started shooting, it came to the surface. After a while, I returned to the bottom of the water.
