This flat skeleton covered with stars all around is that of the red batfish -HALIEUTAEA STELLATA-. It reveals the surprisingly flat and angular silhouette of this benthic species. Living on the seabed from Japan to French Polynesia, up to 400 meters deep. This fish uses its fins as legs to move across the sand, rather than for swimming.
Here, his white skeleton contrasts with the black background of the reliquary, highlighting all these stars that constitute the basis of the points he has on his back and around his body.
A rare bone architecture.
