Coral reefs fringe all the islands and are exposed during low tide.
The best reefs are around Manukan, Mamutik and Sulug islands. Excellent
reef patches are found between Pulau Sapi and Pulau Gaya. This living
organism are carnivorous animals feeding on plankton floating in
the sea.
The different species form coral of different shapes and are named
accordingly - stag horn, mushroom, cabbage, brain, and so on. They
come in a variety of colours and shades - yellow, green, blue and
purple. Coral reefs are home to many kinds of fish, molluscs, the
giant clam, scorpion shell, sea-cucumber, feather starfish, cowry
shell, black and brilliant blue sea-urchins. The coral fish include
the butterfly, parrot, clown, dragon, soldier - in all their brilliant
colours. Bigger fish, like the red carp, grouper, barracudda and
catfish, and occasionally shark, can also be found in the deeper
waters.
