Distribution
This marine species occurs off the Kermadec Islands, New Zealand.
gollark: I read (well, skim) all messages in all the channels I have access to (except voice chat/bots) because I have waaaay too much free time right now.
gollark: That's more blueish. Turquoise, maybe.
gollark: The color corrected one looks pretty weird, I guess because it looks like you're not in water.
gollark: I said "[it] seems neat", not "yes I have definitely decided I want to do lots of this and go through a probably somewhat expensive certification/training thing".
gollark: Scuba diving seems neat. I'm doing a "discover scuba diving" thing next month (not sure exactly when, since I had my parents book it and forgot to ask...).
