The Deep Sea Mystery Circle - a love story
tirelessly worked day and night to carve the circular ridges. The unlikely artist – best known in Japan as a delicacy, albeit a potentially poisonous one – even takes small shells, cracks them, and lines the inner grooves of his sculpture as if decorating his piece. Further observation revealed that this “mysterious circle” was not just there to make the ocean floor look pretty. Attracted by the grooves and ridges, female puffer fish would find their way along the dark seabed to the male puffer fish where they would mate and lay eggs in the center of the circle. -- | Spoon & Tamago

I was fine with the article until the last line, "It was a true story of love, craftsmanship and the desire to pass on descendants." That's industrial strength BS. The little critter is doing what it's programmed to do. It couldn't intentionally vary the timing, size, pattern, or anything else about its work if its species' survival depended on it.
