Underwater view of male Garibaldi fish (Hypsypops rubicundus) guarding his nest. A giant purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) has gotten onto his nest, and the Garibaldi uses his mouth to move the urchin, it falls off the reef. The Garibaldi nest is a patch of golden algae which the Garibaldi cultivated on a flat reef face, and then passing females laid their eggs there, on the edge of a giant kelp forest (Macrocystis pyrifera). There are many types of algae, Rhodophyta or Rhodymenia, and Botryoglossum farlowianum on the reef. Healthy environment. Beauty shot, good dappling sunlight on subjects. Pacific Ocean.

Underwater view, a male Garibaldi fish (Hypsypops rubicundus) has persuaded a female Garibaldi to lay her eggs on his nest, he stays near, and swims with her to fertilize. Good long shot. The nest is a patch of dark algae on a vertical rock face, on the reef. Then female leaves. There are eggs on this nest from as many females as the male has been able to attract. Then male stays to guard his nest and eggs from any other fish, like that persistent Seniorita fish (Oxyjulis californica). California Channel Islands. This reef is between the island and a kelp forest (Macrocystis pyrifera) with Bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana). Good natural sunlight. Pretty blue water. Beauty shot. Fish spawning. Healthy environment. North America West Coast. Pacific Ocean. Reproduction.

Beginning of squid mating ritual at night. Squid begin to gather, they come out of the deep and from their hiding places in the kelp to mid water, not at the ocean floor nor the surface. There is no mating frenzy yet, the squid are just now rising toward the light of the moon. A few juvenile Pacific Mackerel swim through the shot. Ocean water looks black at night. Squid are an important food source for many ocean creatures, and healthy reproduction of squid is important to the entire ocean eco-system.
