MerMay Day 17- Shana (Shakugan No Shana)
Day 17 gives us Shana!
I wanted to base her tail off a lionfish, but I settled for a squirrelfish.
They’re super underrated in saltwater aquariums and they’re so pretty!
And Shakugan No Shana deserves more love than it gets.
Daily fish fact #580
Dwarf squirrelfish!
It is among the smallest squirrelfishes, reaching a maximum length of 7.7 cm (3 inches). It’s a shy, reserved fish, always hiding during the day and at night remaining close to the safety of the steep outer reefs they inhabit.
