Phu Quoc Island is located in a tropical area thereby with favorable weather, many coral species have been growing in Phu Quoc water. And for those who are keen on exploring marine life, you must have had a great passion for contemplating coral reefs here, and curiosity for knowing what coral species you could see and where you could find them in Phu Quoc Island?<\/p>\n

As the post title, we would like to clarify unaddressed related-anemone questions. Honestly, it\u2019s not easy to find anemones in Phu Quoc Island. Here we find the minority existence of soft coral as well as anemone species or soft coral which is a kind of rarely-seen in Phu Quoc water.<\/p>\n

<\/span>1. Ritteri Anemone in Phu Quoc Half-moon reef<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

At Half-moon Reef we could find this kind of anemone a lot at the depth of 3 \u2013 6m, we have found out large golden Ritteri anemone colonies at Half-moon Reef or an Anemone ground which is covered by many small Ritteri anemone colonites at the depth of 5m here.<\/p>\n

Our guest dived down to savor a close-up beauty of the Purple Anemone at the depth of 5 meter at Phu Quoc Half-moon reef.<\/p>\n

<\/span>2. Phu Quoc North-East coral reef<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

At Phu Quoc North-East coral reef,\u00a0you can see even larger Ritteri Anemone clumps at shallower depths of 2 \u2013 3m with the length is about 3 m.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A special thing of Phu Quoc North-east coral reef is that snorkelers and divers will see gardens of large-size corals such as 1.5 \u2013 3-meter-wide table corals, pillar and plate coral garden which is 4 \u2013 5m across or sea anemone gardens growth at a depth of 2m \u2013 5m, flowerpot gardens cover an area of 6 \u2013 8 square meters.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Anemone

At the depth of 3 \u2013 6 you find large barrel sponges surrounded by sea urchins and anemones.<\/p>\n

Due to the difficult-to-approach location, the health status of corals in the Northeast reef is still developing quite well and almost untouched or not damaged much, the coral mortality rate is as very low as 0% from OnBird\u2019s observations.<\/p>\n

3. Carpet Anemone or Leather Coral:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We could find big Carpet anemone clumps in both Southern Phu Quoc and Northern Phu Quoc water, they are in golden color, especially at Phu Quoc Half-moon Reef and Phu Quoc U-Turn you could easily find their existence. In the North, at the Kingdom of Table Coral close to Turtle Island, there are fewer of this kind of anemone.<\/p>\n

4. What kind of Nemo or Clownfish do you see in Phu Quoc?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pink Skunk Clownfish (Amphiprionperideraion) is very\u00a0<\/span>peaceful and can even be a little Timid. They are the calmest & least aggressive fish on the reef in Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pink skunk clownfish (Amphiprionperideraion) has the following characteristics:<\/strong><\/p>\n
