Pink Maomao
NE point, Little Barrier Island 
Depth: 10-25m
A series of pinnacles that drop steeply to sand at 25m. The channels between them have grey and orange finger sponges with butterfly perch, pink maomao, snapper and blue maomao. Large numbers of red moki share the cracks with crayfish and the occasional painted moki. During summer you may see more than a dozen stingrays on the sand. Large yellow moray eels are resident and look amongst the anemones for trumpet and tiger shells.
