The nest is a patch of dark algae, on a vertical reef face, eggs are laid there by passing females. This shot begins over the reef, drops down to reveal the nest. Beauty shot. Other fish on the reef are calico bass (Paralabrax clathratus), Seniorita fish (Oxyjulis californica), and opaleye fish (Girella nigricans). This reef is between the island and a kelp forest. (Macrocystis pyrifera). Natural sunlight dapples. Pretty blue water. Healthy environment. North America West Coast. This shot is another angle and continuation from other footage clips labeled BC180502_0362 through _0398 and BC190111_0001.
