There are a variety of corals from hard coral to soft coral and sea fans, as well as fields of sea anemones with clownfish. Black corals are also common.

Pelagic fish around the pinnacle are also stunning, ranging from yellow-stripe trevally, snapper, chevron barracuda, etc.

At the top of the pinnacle, there are fields of whip corals. Look carefully, you may find ovulid snails clinging to the sea whip, along with razorfish swimming upside down nearby. It’s one of the easiest places to see this fish.
