Coral Reef

In the middle of Ekas Bay there is a stunning coral reef! Layers and layers of coral stacked picariously like dishes at a flea market. A density of coral I don't remember in Hawaii, amazing in it's varitey of shapes and colors - blues, reds and pinks. Platters and saucers of green coral, branched coral like bushes with tips of white, and heads of brain coral, all providing food and hiding places for a variety of butterflyfish, neon blue wrasses, bannerfish, and parrotfish. Bright yellow dottybacks flash in the sunlight, darting under a coral shelf and clown fish can be found sheltering among the anemone and urchins. I am ready to go again!
