While I was photographing a group of spawning wrasse, a flounder jumped up and engaged in predatory behavior. I thought they were waiting on the rocks to ambush, but later I saw that they swam from far away and bit the wrasse at the moment of spawning. I was surprised because I thought Flounder were ambush predators. They spawn very fast, so they fail to prey on the wrasse, but it looks like they are biting towards the scent of spawning rather than jumping on the wrasse.
