Sagami plectranthias is a small marine fish from the serranid family. It lives on rocky bottom areas in the Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Japan.
This species differs from related fish by a special pattern of spots and stripes on the body. It helps maintain balance in the marine ecosystem as a predator of small animals.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
