Yesterday was 5th May 2014, it is time to clean the corals frames. We visited Anaise Reef and clean it.
Cleaning Anaise Reef
The coral grows very fast, within 3 weeks they started to overgrown the cable tie. They did very well.

Along the dive we did revisit our Giant clam nearby the Anaise reef which before the tissue been covered by piece of rubbles and half of the giant clam tissues become bleach because the zooxanthellae (which gives the giant clam colour) feels stress and expelled out. After 3 weeks, the tissue starts to recover. Get well soon dear Giant Clam!

Then, on our way to visit the coral frame no.1 and coral frame no.2 we spot common octopus and huge Nudibranch!

Coral creates more habitat surrounding! So plant more corals!
