These Cyclopterus lumpus protects his eggs in the background. He will stay here till the juvenile fishes come out.

Liparis liparis comes every winter to put there eggs into the Haliclona oculata

Eathing Crab. It looks like he loves worms.....

Cyclopterus lumpus male. In his neigbourhood we found his eggs on 2 places. The male is protecting them till the juvenile come out, 4-8 weeks later. These picture was made on a depth of 10 meters, usualy it is hard to make a natural light picture .

The Myoxocephalus scorpius male is protecting the eggs. He will defend and clean them for about 5 weeks. When he saw his own face in my dome port, he attacked it immediately….

Chrysaora hysoscella. When I tell people I like jellyfish they think I am crazy....
What do you think........
