Spotted among the Coral Trees!
The scrawled filefish is a slow-moving, beautifully patterned reef fish that has a clever trick to stay safe—when threatened, it wedges itself into crevices by locking its spines in place.
We often see these fascinating fish in our coral nurseries, a reminder that reef restoration helps support an entire web of marine life.
Healthy reefs support entire communities, above and below the waves.

Home sweet reef!
Our outplants are already providing shelter for ocean residents. This territorial damselfish wasted no time claiming a prime location on Carysfort reef. Habitat creation is one of the first signs of success in reef restoration!
