For Oriental diagram, the fur of juveniles is very different from adults. It looks like a livery of nudibranchs or flat-worm, which deliver toxic substances. This could have a preventive purpose against predators.
This juvenile prefers sheltered areas, he also likes to hide in the hollows of corals or branched corals.
He is quite shy as a child, but will always stay near his hiding place and not go far away.
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
So, please be careful during night dives!
