Blenniella chrysospilos Spawning | Red-spotted Blenny

This is a male red-spotted blenny (Blenniella chrysospilos) fertilizing eggs. The female is in the burrow beneath him and has deposited eggs. Once the male finishes, he goes to another hole and waits for the female to deposit more eggs before coming back to fertilize again. After repeating this process multiple times, the female departs and leaves the male to care for the developing young.
