It is one of representative fish in Kushimoto.
We call it Kagokakidai in Japanese. It’s so beautiful isn’t it??

Have you ever seen this sponge??

It’s baby Giant-Barrel sponge.
How long does it take to grow up this size??

We were able to meet cute warty frogfish yesterday, so We were enjoy diving in this weekend.

The guest from Germany came to our shop.
They had never dive in Japan, so I showed them Japanese fishes.

Have you ever seen its fish?

The English name is Japanese butterfly fish. And scientific name is Chaetodon nippon.
Its name include Nippon!!!
So, when I dive with the guest who had never dived in Japan, I always show the fish!!

I think the place is the most famous spot in Kushimoto.

Tomato grouper and pigmy sweepers.
I believe this is a typical scene in Kushimoto!!

Today, I talked about the name of this fish.

I guess the english name is Decorated ghost pipe fish. But some guest call it ghost pipe fish.
So, I’m not sure what the correct name is…

At last dive, I can find new rare fish.

The size is 1cm.
The swimming behavior is so cute(^^)

But, The fish take something on her body.
She may be take a disease…

Then, The guest from overseas will come to our shop tomorrow as well.
Our shop become more international !!

I will do my best tomorrow !!!

The typhoon named Shanshan made our shop close for a week…
We cannot dive for a week.

So, we went to research dive today.
I worry if underwater creatures were gone, but almost underwater creatures still stay at the same place.

There wasn’t huge surge for a week, but the situation of underwater was changed a little bit.

However, some goby still live in a same place.

Filament-finned prawn-goby was swimming a lot.
I guess they are so hungry due to typhoon. lol

On the other hands, Black sailfin goby looks exhausted.
They didn’t spread their fin at all.

When it doesn’t spread fin, it look like a branch, doesn’t it?

We also meet a shrimp named “Dasycaris zanzibarica”.
The shrimp is a little bit rare in Kushimoto area.

Others, we were able to meet Japanese pigmy seahorse as well.

This time, the typhoon didn’t seem to have much of an impact underwater.

We will restart diving from tomorrow.
I wonder if we can meet many kinds of underwater creatures tomorrow!!!

Foreigner tourists will come to our shop tomorrow.
I will do my best our guest to have a good time!!!
