Study shows reef fish listen carefully

I just heard this great piece on NPR about how baby damselfish find their way back to the reef (after their larvae had drifted away) by recognizing and then following the sound of the reef.

Now I wonder what our tank inhabitants think of our musical choices.

The NPR audio piece is posted here.

An article on ABC Science Online summarizes the just-published article in the journal Science here.
