Ecology

They live in shallow waters and are omnivorous, eating small creatures. Males protect the eggs. Equipped with canine teeth, it attacks animals larger than itself.

Habitat

I took this photo on the beach of Arasaki, Miura Peninsula. The waves were too high to swim in the outer rapids, so I swam in the relatively calm waters inside the tetra. I found a single individual on the surface of a rock in the sea, so I took a picture of it.
