This is a great video of two cuttlefish trying to have an intimate moment and lay some eggs. A second, rather "frisky" male cuttlefish tries to cut in on the action. The smaller male keeps protecting his lady as she lays eggs under the coral. The smaller male is "respecting his lady" :)
Protip: Watch closely as they colors and patterns on their back change thoughout this little struggle


This was taken aboard our Diving Liveaboard in the Similan Islands, Thailand for more info -
