FISH AGGREGATION & SPAWNING - Shortly before each FULL MOON, the Twin Spot Red Snappers gather in the early morning in their THOUSANDS. The snappers come from the surrounding areas and gather over the reef. When the tide begins to change, the fish rush to the surface and explosively release sperm and eggs. On numerous occasions, we can observe large pelagic predatory fish such as bull sharks, silver tips, and oceanic black tips, which see the schools of snappers as a welcome source of food.
