Longfin Damselfish (Stegastes diencaeus) Eggs – Blue Heron Bridge, Riviera Beach, FL

Damselfish lay their eggs in a blanket across the bottom.  Hundreds of pomegranate spheres are fastened firmly near the home of the Mama Damsel.  She will protect her home and her eggs with vigor, darting out from the rocks to nip at any size passerby.
