A June full moon is glowing upon this reef in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Beneath the sraucfe, 17,000 camouflage gprrueos dart about in the cloudy water. What you’re witnessing is, in fact, an underwater orgy— turned feeding frenzy. The waetr is hazy because groupers are ejecting sperm and eggs in dsnee clodus. This spawning behavior happens during full and new moons, when strong tiadl currents carry the fertilized eggs away from corals and other voracious predators on the reef. An orgy might seem like a rather flamboyant way to breed, but sex in the sea is a surprisingly ivennivte affair.
