It is Melibe japonica that is rarely seen in its natural habitat, but several specimens only recently were observed in some localities in southern Japan.

It is marvelous that I saw three individuals at the same time. It is endemic to Japan and will reach 60- 70 cm !

Last week I found a very beautiful fish at the surface in the yacht harbor in Miyazaki, southern Japan where I will visit two or three times a week.

It is Chelidonichthys spinosus, more than 20 cm long. A deeper-dwelling fish that ranges Japanese waters, Taiwan and Korea. It ususally dwells below 25 meters, but I could see it at the depth of 2 meters there. It has gorgeous fins and is a very good eating and rather expensive. It can grow to 40 cm.

Dr. Tanaka,

This C. temmincki pair came from JP. Very beautiful fish.

Hi,

Males are almost entirely red if they come from Japanese coastal waters. A nice selection.

It is very beautiful and it is glad.
However, it is a little brutal.

A nice selection and photograph.

It is one of the undescribed Cirrhilabrus I have told. It occurs in Fiji and Tonga. I wonder who has collected many specimens in Tonga.
