North Male Atoll 2016 July 12th, Second dive: Black Coral

Black Coral, the dive site famous for finding a long-nose Hawkfish, did not disappoint.
While this was a smaller specimen, it was clearly visible and even yawned at us…
The tiny shrimps living on the corals also posted nicely for a sharp Macro.
