How many Arc-eye Hawkfishes can you fit in a head of Cauliflower Coral? I count six here, though there could be more, and who knows what else besides. Corals like this offer vital shelter for small fish and other creatures seeking to avoid the many predators out hunting.
I can only spot them by their tails. You’re right about the coral and protection. Not to mention the other environmental benefits.

Yes, coral is amazing stuff. It’s heartbreaking to see the amount of dead coral on the reefs here. The knock on effects are enormous.
