Ecology

Found in shallow waters of coral reefs and rocky reefs. It preys on small animals near the coral reef near the seabed. They are not very cautious, and they don't care much even if you get close to them.

Habitat

Hachijojima Sokodo Beach

It is the most conspicuous fish when swimming in Sokodo Beach. It was going back and forth over the coral reef. Even when I dived and brought the camera closer, it didn't run away, but rather came closer. He seems curious.
