Philippines :: Anilao : Cathedral Rock

This is a Marine Park Sanctuary. New coral has been seeded and the site is now teeming with fish. It is the most popular site in The Philippines. It resembles a roofless cavern, consisting of two large sea mounts with a small cross planted at 15 meters. When there is current, you will be surrounded by feather stars and inflated soft corals everywhere. In addition, there are plenty of colourful sponges and nudibranches, hydroids, sea squirts, Feather Duster Worms and algae, with christmas-tree worms in the coral.

Fish looking for a quick feed include the smaller angelfish, butterflyfish, wrasse, triggerfish, Moorish Idols, damselfish, pufferfish and surgeonfish. You'll also encounter parrotfish and hawkfish, blue sea stars, sea cucumbers, barrel sponges and anemones with clownfish.
