Female blue-headed wrasse force an entourage of males to compete for their eggs. When ready to spawn, individual females race to the surface, hotly pursued by eager males. Sperm and eggs are simultaneously released in an explosive spectacle. In this form of broadcast spawning, no male can be sure how successful he’s been.
