Looking like fairytale castles, each pinnacle forms a micro-habitat for tiny reef fishes, which spread out like a halo round the brilliantly colored coral. Larger reef fish cruise through the pinnacles and the sand between them supports bluespotted and blackspotted stingrays and crocodilefish.The pinnacles have been formed by a wide range of stony corals, and many are extremely sculpted and create very varied profiles, with overhangs, crevices and cavelets to explore.
Fish life ranges from tiny anthias to huge grouper.Morays are also seen. Plenty of invertebrates, such as cuttlefish, squid, octopus, and nudibranchs are most prominent at night when the site takes on a completely different character.Many divers tend to think of this site as an optional extra if they have some energy left after a day’s diving at Rocky Island. This is to undervalue a charming site.
