Clownfish Embryos Close-up

[IntrinsicReef]

Just wanted to share some pics I captured of Ocellaris Clownfish embryo development. The parents are around 17-18 years old and are constantly laying and tending eggs. Which means I get bit a lot. The female jumps completely out of the water to bite me when I feed.

Here is a video of the parents laying eggs.

PSA: There is music in the video, so check your volume before entering.

That was just cute! That music was so perfect.

Judging by density, development, size, and yolk sac, they are very healthy. Nicely done!

I shot these with an underwater camera because I have the same problem. Here is what I use: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympus-tg-6-review
It's built in macro settings are really fun to play with!

Nice! I would like to get another one that has some different capabilities. The Tg-6 is very macro centric. It's macro settings shine, but I haven't been able to get the other settings to produce the images I'm looking for.
