Hello fellow Divers,
Happy Tuesday!
Have you guys seen this? I thought it was really neat! I'd love to see one of these guys some day!
How to make the perfect love nest
A tiny Japanese puffer fish creates a grand sand sculpture on the featureless seabed by using his fins to dig furrows. He uses this to attract the attention of passing females.

During a safety stop with my wife I drew a tic-tac-toe square in the sand. She wasn't impressed.
