On the seabed a geometric, circular structure measuring roughly 6.5 ft in diameter had been precisely carved from sand. It consisted of multiple ridges, symmetrically jutting out from the center, and appeared to be the work of an underwater artist, carefully working with tools. For its resemblance to crop circles, Ookata dubbed his new finding a mystery circle, and enlisted some colleagues at NHK to help him investigate. In a television episode that aired last week titled The Discovery of a Century: Deep Sea Mystery Circle, the television crew revealed their findings and the unknown artist was unmasked.
...
Underwater cameras showed that the artist was a small puffer fish who, using only his flapping fin, tirelessly worked day and night to carve the circular ridges. The unlikely artist best known in Japan as a delicacy, albeit a potentially poisonous one even takes small shells, cracks them, and lines the inner grooves of his sculpture as if decorating his piece.
