Bahura (means reef) is the second main section of Manila Ocean Park after Agos (flow). Bahura features fascinating sea creatures in the Philippine coral reefs. It is dark in here, flash of camera inside the oceanarium should be off at all times. Flash might stress the fish. I’m amazed in this part because many marine creatures I haven’t seen before can be found here such as the giant japanese spider crab, (the body is twice or thrice bigger than a human head), razorfish, reef stone fish, Singapore shrimp goby, spotted garden eel, titan triggerfish, chambered nautilus, blue spotted ribbontail ray (pagi or stingray), bamboo shark (the eggs of bambo shark can also be seen) and many more.
Remember the animated movie Nemo? I love Dory, I don’t know the fish specie so I simply call it Dory. And of course, I love Nemo, the clown fish. I first saw clown fish in Club Paradise in Palawan and this was the second time I saw again a clown fish in action. Click thumbnails to view the larger and better images.
