The marine life in the Coron area is diverse, with a healthy presence of reef fish and larger pelagics. You will often encounter various species of Angelfish (Pomacanthidae) and Butterflyfish (Chaetodon) navigating the coral structures.
Large species such as Great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) and various turtles are part of the regular ecosystem. Rabbitfish also frequent the reefs, contributing to the vibrant activity seen during most dives.
The seabed and reef structures are characterised by extensive hard corals and various other coral formations. These provide the essential habitat for a wide array of reef fish and smaller organisms.
Macro enthusiasts can look for smaller inhabitants amongst the reef architecture, including different types of Shrimp (Caridea). The presence of venomous sea snakes adds to the biological complexity of the local waters.
