Mulaku Kandu

The channel attracts giant trevally, large tuna and schools of barracuda, and hammerhead sharks may appear early in the morning. At the west corner there are snappers and jacks. Moray eels live on the wall, and groupers hunt among the corals. Stingrays are found on the white sand of the bottom. The coral blocks at the corners have holes with soft corals where squirrelfish hide. Large sea fans grow on the outer edge, and turtles appear on the edge of the reef.

In the centre of the channel, a large submerged formation rises from very deep water, covered in soft corals. The entrance to the channel is narrow and can be crossed when conditions allow. The bottom is a blanket of white sand that glistens with the reflected sunlight. Between 1997 and 2007, the channel was a collection station for small marine snails (Rissoinidae) for a scientific study. Visibility is usually better during the northeast monsoon, from December to April.
