Blue Maomao |
POOR KNIGHTS ISLAND, NORTHLAND
Depth:
10-40m
The
name is wrong - schools of fish hang out in the arch and the walls
are colourful. Look for carpet sharks amongst the boulders in the
entrance. Blue and pink maomao swarm in the centre and scorpionfish
and half-banded perch sit amongst the ascidians, sponges and other
invertebrates. Look for Jason nudibranchs on the hydroids outside the
eastern entrance.
