Ocellaris anemonefish laying eggs
Ocellaris anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris) laying eggs. The process of egg laying lasts around half an hour. The female lays between 100- 1000 eggs, which are fertilised by the male as they are laid. The eggs will take 6-7 days to hatch. Anemonefish, also called clownfish, live in association with sea anemones. Slime on the fishs skin prevents the anemones stinging cells from damaging it. The fish sleeps, evades danger, eats, and lays its eggs between the poisonous tentacles. The anemonefish cleans the anemone and also ensures a supply of food detritus for the anemone to feed on. Photographed at the Bunaken National Park, in North Sulawesi, Indonesia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the life of an Ocellaris anemonefish. In this image, a female Ocellaris anemonefish can be seen laying her eggs, while the male fertilizes them simultaneously. This intricate process lasts for approximately half an hour and results in the deposition of anywhere between 100 to 1000 eggs. The vibrant orange hue of these fish contrasts beautifully with the hidden world they inhabit within sea anemones. The slime on their skin acts as protection against the stinging cells of their host, allowing them to sleep, eat, and even lay eggs undisturbed amidst the poisonous tentacles. Not only do these fascinating creatures find safety within their symbiotic relationship with sea anemones, but they also play a crucial role in maintaining their environment's balance. Anemonefish clean their hosts and provide food detritus that sustains them. This incredible photograph was taken at Bunaken National Park in North Sulawesi, Indonesia – a tropical paradise teeming with diverse marine life. It showcases nature's remarkable ability to create unique partnerships that ensure survival and perpetuate species like these beautiful Ocellaris anemonefish. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the wonders that lie beneath our oceans' surfaces and how interconnected every element of our natural world truly is.
