Koh Doc Mai provides a source of food and shelter for a large variety of species macro photographic including the invertebrates such as the tiny crabs and shrimps, the clams, the oyster, the sea urchins, the sea stars, the worms, the numerous different nudibranchs, the squid, and the white-eyed moray eels, the seahorses and the ghostpipefishes. Dive slowly and check crevices in the wall or the sea fans and you may spot them. The schools of jackfishes, barracudas, red mullet fishes and fusiliers roam the reef in search of their next feast.
