This species is present in East Africa to the Java Sea.
They are often seen on branched corals in coastal reefs. They are usually inside small shoals, from 5 to 10 individuals.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
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.
