Sponge Reef lives up to her name. The reef is covered with soft corals, varying from the orange elephant sponges to the purple and yellow tube sponges. You'll see the largest and most interesting leaf and plate coral formations you can imagine. Here and there, in the midst of this colorful splendor, you'll can spot parrot fish and turtles.
