OK, just up. On the north point of big Stringer, we visited the big anemone and clownfish that reside here. I was originally on my way down to the Stingray cave but we lingered at the anemone because the clownfish were particularly aggressive this morning.
It was through the view-finder of the camera that I noticed the bright orange field of eggs that the pair had laid. They'd nipped back the mantle of the anemone, and deposited the eggs in this protective bay of exposed rock where the poisonous tendrils brush the area, keeping the eggs safe.
This is just an extension of the amazing symbiosis that these little fish represent.
