Ecology

Found on shallow water reefs and coral reefs. It catches small fish, etc. The dorsal fin spines are highly poisonous.

Habitat

Niijima Maehama

It was hiding under rocks in shallow water about 2m deep. When I moved the rock to see the Otohime shrimp, it came out quickly. After swimming near the bottom of the water for a while, it returned to the bottom of the rock.
