This humbug damselfish sometimes lives with Dascyllus melanurus who is a damsel with a black band ending on the tail.
This fish lives in colony from 2 to 40 individuals, often ten.
It is often a harem chaired by a large male.
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
