This anemone is the home to the most different species of clown fish: up to 14 species! Sometimes you can find small shrimps.
When the anemone is disturbed, the tentacles retract. They can also be shrunken if the anemone does not harbor any fish.
The anemone is called leather anemone because its column recalls the texture of the leather.
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
So, please be careful during night dives!
