Onomichi Yellow Coral
This is a coral that grows in colonies in the waters around Tobishima Island in Yamagata Prefecture, adapted to cooler seas unlike reef-building corals. Its colonies attach to rock. Coral aggregations this far north in the Sea of Japan are unusual, so the habitat is protected as a whole.
