Long time no see my friend.

Great shots. I have never seen them with eggs.

Thanks all. Yeah, it has been "Long time no sea" for me for too long. I am glad to be near some diving country again.

These two fish were so intent on caring for their eggs that they were not really phased by my presence. It was interesting to see them take turns hovering over the eggs fanning them with their fins.

Cheers, Nick
