Be patient: cams take a while to load. You'll also see fish. http://explore.org/live-cams/player/cayman-reef-cam

There was one I used to watch a lot, clear and beautiful, and you got to know some of the fish, who stayed right around close to their 'homes'; then a hurricane passed right over it. It was strange to watch the light dim---people worry about a lights-out cyano treatment, but a storm on the reef does significantly dim the light for as long as it takes the weather to move on. THere was not much visible violence, though some coral was damaged; but alas, eventually the camera was a casualty, and never came back into operation.
Note that some cams go dark at night; but this one seems to run some of the day's best footage during dark hours.

and it is a better indicator of typical fish population density as opposed to your lfs sale tank. There ARE places where you will have about 4-5 fish in a typical view. And you'll notice these fish work hard for a living. If you want to really know how fish live and interact, go to the scuba forum and look at some of the beautiful footage they have. Fascinating stuff.

4-5? I just watched a video of Hawaii's fishery on Reef Builders and they had probably 60-80 fish in one area.
I mean... I get your point but let's not get overly carried away lol.

You may note fish gather thickest where there's food. And you'll note with this cam that if there are 2 fish holding in place, a third fish will suspect there might be food, a fourth fish will be sure there's food, and a fifth will buzz the group in hopes of stealing it...but then it all will dissipate in various directions----in individual quest of food. You'll see assemblages for food, for mating, sometimes for protection---and it happens with some species more than others. Herring. I'm not sure there is such a thing as one herring or one sardine, but you know the saying about sardines.

Do they have night time lighting? I logged in during midnight (for Cayman island time) last night but it was still bright as daylight there.
