Water-fearing fishes live in caves on cliffs

A fish that lives on the Pacific islands always hastily fled to a higher place to avoid the waves coming.

Pacific rattan cans live in small caves a meter away from the tide water off Guam, Micronesia and run to higher ground even when the smallest wave comes, according to the Telegraph. The fish often have to roll in small coastal areas to keep this moisture recorded for the first time by the BBC's natural documentary crew.

"A sea creature seems rather indifferent to the sea. The most terrestrial fish on the planet live on a few remote islands in the Pacific Ocean. Pacific cloudy fish seems to be very afraid of the waves. They are poor swimmers and very easy to be prey to the sea, " said David Attenborough, Blue Planet II host.

Instead of looking for food in the water, fish cans of clouds eat algae growing on cliffs . To avoid being washed away from the ledge, the small fish nearly 8cm can jump beyond the body length. Males attract their partners by flashing an orange streak on the dorsal fin. It takes the partner to the nest in the rock slot, where the female lays eggs after mating.

"The creatures living in coastal areas have to go through many incredible challenges to survive in this division between land and sea," said Mark Brownlow, producer of the program.
