WOW!!!!!!! I'm so jealous right now. Crazy pic.'s thanks for sharing, very cool to see them. Any idea how big the clown tang in that pic. is? I just got a smaller one for my tank, so cool to see a pic. of a big one. Also that unicorn tang looks huge!

That clown tang was around 14" and the Unicorn was over 24"! The Similian Islands are amazing and i wish i could have spent my whole trip there!
Oh and in the 3rd pic the moray at the bottom was the size of a basketball around, almost pooped my pants when i jumped in the water and almost landed on top of him. Its the only pic i took before got scared and scrambeled back onto my kayak.

Yup, with pretty much everything i saw, but it really made me think about how much damage they must when harvesting. I also saw many tourists standing up (to readadjust their life jacket and goggles)on tabling acros, montis etc. and snaping off large portions. People who can't swim shouldn't be allowed near the shallow areas of the reef where they can cause alot of damage with their feet. I also tried yelling at whoever i saw, but its futile when nobody understands english.
