We found ainame (fat greenling) eggs 🥚✨
This season, we had been watching ainame guarding eggs at 2 spots.
When we went to check on them 4 days ago, both had already finished…
But at another spot, we found a male ainame hanging around 👀
We were hoping, “Maybe a new one is about to start?”…
and when we dove today, a new round of egg guarding had begun!!
And the eggs were freshly laid ✨
How lucky 😊
At yet another spot there's also a male hanging around,
so I'm really looking forward to what happens next.
Ainame eggs hatch in about 3 to 4 weeks.

This year, it looks like we'll be able to watch this precious scene until around the middle of February.
If you're interested, please come and see it 🌊🐟
