Since 2015, I spent>280 nights snorkeling to build a reproduction calendar of corals &other animals in the Red Sea.
In addition to the discovery that coral spawning synchrony was off, this massive effort allowed me to witness some nocturnal mysteries๐ต๏ธ๐ง๐ฆ

Atlantic Goliath #Groupers are massive #fish that can grow to 2.5m long. During one of his dives, the #photographer found them surrounded by schools of Bigeye Scads.

Glad to see my study in this month's issue of @ESABulletin
This is a lighter version of our study - with an emphasis on great #photography & descriptions
Using @TomShlesinger's brilliant talent we hope to communicate our findings to a wider audience๐
