  • Cleaner wrasse maintain cleaning stations at coral heads along the reef.  The cleaners advertise their services by 'dancing' above the coral.  Other fish then come in to have parasites and dead skin removed from their bodies, providing a meal for the wrasse in the process.

  • Razor fish live on sand flats such as those found in the shallow bays of Pulau Weh.  Pulau Weh lies at the most north westerly tip of Indonesia, where the Indian Ocean meets the Andaman Sea.  The deep water and strong currents that sweep past the island provides perfect conditions for both large and small marine species.  The island has active volcanic vents that emit   sulphurous gases and lies close to an active subduction zone.  Pulau Weh lies just off shore from Banda Aceh, the city that was devastated during the 2004 tsunami.  Fortunately, damage on the island was minimal compared to the devestation on the mainland.

  • Manta rays congregate in areas where strong currents are funnelled through reefs. These areas concentrate plankton on which mantas feed.  Mantas also congregate at cleaning stations, where small wrasse and butterflyfish clen parasites from the surface of the rays. Tourism is now a major business in the Komodo National Park.  Divers visit the park using liveaboard boats operating out of Bali, or from the port of Labuan Bajo on Lombok.  The Komodo National Park is home to the unique Komodo Dragon, but also has some remarkable marine life.  Cold upwellings from the Indian Ocean to the south bring plenty of nutrients, providing food for a spectacular array of different species.
