This site comprises of three coral heads, the largest an ox bow shape is 80 meters in length, separated from the two smaller mounts by a 30 meter wide and 25 meter deep canyon. A family of three Napoleon Wrasse are resident on this reef. If undisturbed these fish live up to 50 years.
A cavern beneath the most easterly coral head is home to a resident group of 20 or so Oriental Sweetlip. Schools of barracuda, batfish, surgeonfish and jacks are predictably found hovering between coral heads. The flow of nutrients feeds the reef; green tubastrae coral branch out among outcrops of luscious soft coral highlighted with tapestries of orange, purple and green Anthias fish, covering the walls of the reef.
