TAKING CARE

Saddleback Anemonefish (Amphiprion polymnus) looking after its eggs, Negros, Philippines 🇫🇷 Lorsque les poissons-clowns sont prêts à frayer, ils traînent une coquille de noix de coco ou un caillou jusqu'à proximité de leur anémone. Ils nettoient la surface pour une adhérence optimale, puis pondent leurs œufs. Dans ce cas, ils ont trouvé et utilisé un déchet plastique pour déposer leur progéniture. 🇬🇧When clownfishes get closer to spawning, they drag some coconut shells or rocks close to their anemone. They clean the surface for optimal adhesion and then lay their eggs. In that case, they found and used some plastic rubbish.
