The top of the rock is carpeted with sea anemones and attendant Pink Anemone Fish. You'll also find some awesome Giant Groupers amongst the rock with impressive schools of Bat Fish, Jacks, Giant Trevally and Barracuda. Grey Reef Sharks are frequently sighted here as well as seasonal visits from Whale Sharks.
