    📚 Natural History
    Life Cycle
    Males migrate to a traditional spawning ground where they establish territories enclosing nest sites and egg chambers . Nesting occurs in sand-bottomed channels and shallow cuts through the barrier reef . The nest consist of depressions up to 2 m wide and 0.7 m deep . Females arrive several days later and select a male for mating . Exhibit biparental care . Up to 430,000 or more eggs may be deposited in a spongy fist-sized cluster weighted down with pieces of rubble .
