There are all kinds of sea creatures.
Blenny
They live on the rocks in the ocean where the waves splash. They eat the weeds that grow on the rocks by scraping them off.
Place (a type of flounder)
It has a flat body. Its body color and pattern are just like the sand. It burrows into the sand, leaving only its eyes sticking out to look around.
Shuttles Hoppfish
They live on the muddy side. They skillfully walk and jump across the mud using their pectoral fins. Even though they're fish, are they okay even outside of water?
Ribfish
Huh? That's a strange-looking fish. It's flat and long and slender. And on top of that, it's swimming with its head down.
Weedy Seadragon
It has a strange appearance, but...it's a fish. The spikes that extend from its body and the way it swims are just like torn seaweed.
Blue sea slug
They have beautiful colors and patterns. They move very slowly, almost crawling. Apparently, their bright colors are a way of telling those around them, "This is not tasty."
Sarasa nudibranch
Some sea slugs have beautiful colors and patterns that look like party dresses. Try to find your favorite in the picture book.
Piccoloco (a type of barnacle)
They attach themselves to rocks and use a rake-like appendage called a "mankyaku" to catch and eat plankton that float by.
Starfish
It's a star-shaped creature with five arms. It lives in rocky, uneven shorelines. It has many thin, tube-like legs that allow it to walk slowly.
Purple Sea Urchin
It has lots of long, thin thorns all over its body. If you look closely, you can sometimes see the thorns moving.
