 Crayfish in the cracks and scallops on the sand. Scarlet wrasse, pigfish, giant boarfish and blue moki on the deeper reefs. Nudibranchs abound on the underhangs amongst the invertebrate life. Protected from swells but very exposed to strong winds. A few schools of pelagics mainly in summer. Nice kelp forest over rocky reef that drops to sand at 22 metres.
