Thin light blue streaks run through its long, yellow body. The caudal fin is dark brown with three yellow spots. looks like she's screaming There is a brown band extending from the snout past the eye.
Ecology
Inhabits rocky reefs and tidal pools in shallow waters. They often hide under rocks. The individual I took in the picture also came out when I happened to shine a light under the rock ledge.
Habitat
Miura Peninsula Arasaki
It was found near the seafloor in Arasaki at a depth of 2-3m. After chasing the butterflyfish and lighting up the bottom of the rock ledge, a fish of a color and shape I had never seen before appeared. I took a picture because there was no sign of running around the front and back of the sea urchin.
