Very present in the Maldives from where it takes its name, it can be found in the Andaman Sea, Indonesia or the Philippines. We have also seen it in Thailand, but it is extremely rare.
We see it move from time to time, but it's true that when she wants to hide she remains motionless, so she looks like a soft coral
Very little data is present today on its diet, even if it seems to eat ascidians.
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.
