As seen in the previous picture of the crabs mating, the Reef Ball reef has already become a bit of a nursery. This picture shows squid egg masses that were laid inside one of the Reef Balls. Each of the finger-like egg masses was laid by one squid, so you can get an idea of how many squids were around to produce all of these egg masses. The 15 cm squid come into shallow water to lay their eggs.
