UNDERWATER FEATURE<br />
Anemone<br />
The anemone has tentacles that it uses for catching<br />
prey that, if touched, will cause a burning, itching<br />
sensation, followed by redness and swelling. Observe<br />
their beautiful colours from a safe distance.<br />
Triggerfish<br />
This oval, yellow fish is extremely territorial when<br />
nesting and breeding. They actively chase away<br />
invaders that approach their nests and may bite if<br />
approached. Their teeth are incredibly strong and<br />
their bites can cause serious injury. Always stay a<br />
cautious distance away from triggerfish.<br />
Cone shell<br />
These attractive shells are actually some of the<br />
most dangerous animals living on the reef. They can<br />
deliver a sting that has been known to at times have<br />
fatal consequences. The dart-like sting is so tiny<br />
that you will not feel it at first, but the effect will<br />
start to take effect within 15 minutes. Never pick up<br />
shells to avoid getting stung.<br />
Stingray<br />
Stingrays are beautiful, shy animals that are not<br />
aggressive. They only become a threat if you get<br />
too close, touch, or step on them. They can often<br />
be found lying on sandy bottoms, and like to<br />
nestle into the sand, which means they are sometimes<br />
very well camouflaged. Their long barbed<br />
tails can administer a sting that can be life<br />
threatening. When in the lagoons, be aware of<br />
where you are putting your feet.<br />
