That's a pretty big "nest" for such a small fish. Very interesting!

Somebody's growing crops underwater???

I thought it was neat as this is something normally seen in certain cichlids and sun fish. Not normally in the salty side of it.

I would love to have that in my tank. What kind of fish is that? Does anyone know if this is their mating dance or a form of protection so that it looks like a big predator?

Just noticed that Cdiggy's Image looks like the underwater crop circles.

It is obviously an alien pufferfish!

No mating dance....just a BIG circle to attract a female for mating. The female checks out the circle and if she likes it, well put on some Barry White music.
