Yoriko, an Asian sheepshead wrasse (kobudai in Japanese), first met scuba diver Hiroyuki Arakawa nearly 30 years ago when he was supervising the construction of an underwater Shinto temple gate 56 feet beneath the surface of the bay. On one dive he noticed Yoriko's mouth had been badly injured. Even so, she came to greet him. Realizing she'd be unable to catch her own food, Arakawa spent the next 10 days hand-feeding Yoriko meat from crabs he hammered open for her 🩵 The Asian sheepshead wrasse is a hermaphroditic species, meaning that it has both male and female organs which allows it to change its gender.
