Like all summers, we can see the birth of the fry of black Damselfish Chromis chromis. In the video they are well recognized for the characteristic of being of an intense electric blue color. It is almost impossible not to see them and they are a show that each of us can witness in a few meters of depth as long as equipped with a mask, snorkel and a minimum of ability to hold breath.
