Schools of
trevally, sweep, demoiselles, silver drummer and blue maomao along
with mackerel, koheru and kingfish. Anemones cover the shallow walls
and continue along with other invertebrates around the kelp
holdfasts. Be aware of tangled nylon amongst the kelp. Many cracks,
fissures and boulders make great hiding places for crayfish. Large
yellow moray eels, red moki, snapper, tarakihi, leatherjackets,
porae and John dory can be seen below 20m amongst grey finger,
colourful golfball and encrusting sponges.
