The reefs around Coron are home to a diverse array of marine life, ranging from large pelagics to delicate reef dwellers. You will regularly encounter various reef fish, angelfish (Pomacanthidae), and butterflyfish (Chaetodon) navigating the coral structures.

The hard corals and various coral formations provide a complex habitat for many species, including rabbitfish and several types of turtles. Large great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) are also known to patrol the area, adding to the excitement of a drift dive.

For those with an eye for detail, the smaller inhabitants are just as compelling. Look closely among the reef structures to find different types of shrimp (Caridea) and other small reef fish that thrive in the sheltered areas.
