On my last dive at Rapid Bay a few days ago I discovered a brooding Tasseled Anglerfish (Rhycherus filamentosus) with a clutch of eggs.

Now a few days later I decided to see how they were going. I am not sure I can make out much of a difference just yet so perhaps I will space out the visits a little more from next time.

The Tasseled Anglerfish is very protective of its eggs and guards them well. In this image they have not been abandoned, you can just see the parent's dorsal fin running along the bottom edge of the frame.
