We went snorkeling several times on a nearby coral head where a giant clam lived along with a great diversity of small fish and hard and soft corals.

| A real giant clam - more than three feet across |
 |
| An unfortunate clam that did not make it is eaten by other reef denizens |

| Several clams were placed in the sand near the research station. |

 |
| The coral head was home to thousands of fish |
 |
| There were a dozen of these larger yellow fish - about 15 cms long |
 |
| These blue fish live in large groups always around a protective coral formation like this one. |
