This is a sargassufish (Histrio histrio) about 13cm long that was floating in a small patch of seaweed that had been swept into a shallow bay. From time to time, the fish moved between patches of seaweed, together with a smaller individual. The seaweed and fish floated back out to open ocean with the outgoing tide. Photographed in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
