My little boy wants to know why the clownfish always seem to nibble on their eggs.
So what's the answer?

That's what we read in that Clownfish book that's in the MAAST library. I did a little reading to prepare my lesson for a friend's home-schooled daughter and friend who came over for their marine biology lesson / field trip. Luckily we had a nice clutch of clownfish eggs at the time and the 8-year old girls had lots of questions so I was glad I had done my homework!
I was the coolest teacher ever because I let them each touch and play with an asterina starfish!![]()
