Courtship begins with the dance of love
amidst the feathery sea fans.
From morn 'til night they tango,
forging a bond for life.
When eggs are ready
Mom will lay them
deep inside
his pouch -
Done!
Now
it's time
for Mom to
relax and dream
atop the coral
while Dad, the nursemaid, feeds
and protects her precious eggs.
When hatchlings make their grand debut -
the dance begins all over again!
