Interesting observations yo...Assalamu'alaikum,<br /><br />Interesting observations you got there. I've never joined a COT clean-up before, so I don't know how it's implemented, but I was amazed to find out that some people think that it is their moral duty to kill COTs should they encounter one (yes, even though its just one).<br /><br />The problem lies in lack of understanding. They should know that COTs should only be hunted if they undergo a population boom which could alter the reef ecosystem (a.k.a. harm the reef beyond repair).<br /><br />I've only ever dived in Pulau Tenggol's house reef and Pulau Redang's Teluk Kalong. Both places are full of staghorn Acroporas.Ezehelmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397403691134089810noreply@blogger.com
