Ambiance
This is the most famous of the muck sites and deservedly so. The (only) sand slope here can be exceptionally productive.
The position on a point means that the mix of currents brings more nutrients than on most other nearby sites.
In the cooler summer season, the shallows can be covered with cotton candy-like Algae, drawing 'hairy' critters such as the Hairy Frogfish, Ambon Scorpionfish and filamented Ghost Pipefish which blend right in.
Other inhabitants such as Cockatoo Waspfishes and Seahorses can also get 'hairy' as the algae grows on them.
