Interesting facts

  • As you travel over the sand during the day you will notice perfectly round holes that reveal nothing but darkness inside of them. Mantis Shrimp will live in some of these holes, waiting in ambush, and in others are the Hell’s Fire Anemones that will expand out like incredibly fast growing trees and have stings powerful enough to stun fish.
