Beautiful Carnation soft corals at Bunaken are especially nice when the sun hits them and you get to see their vibrant colours. They are found in the Soft coral family (Nephtheidae) under the genus Dendronephthya. They add a flower garden effect to coral reefs and small shrimps, crabs and fish use the soft coral as…
As divers we enjoy our time on the reefs, we love to talk about it and show everyone the awesome underwater shots we took. On the Two Fish Divers Sanur Facebook page we try to post a reef fact every month, sometimes about the reef we see, and sometimes from greater depths. Because isn’t it…
