What FACTLY found
White-spotted male pufferfish draw these circular shapes on the seabed to attract females. The grains of sand in the centre of this shape are very delicate. After the female fish meets the male fish, she lays her eggs in this fine sand and leaves. The male fish guards the eggs until they hatch
