  • The Patch Reefs in Palau are a series of small shallow-water reefs south of Long Lake. These reefs suffered a severe crown of thorns starfish infestation after the 1998 el Nino. Ron Leidich and friends removed thousands of crown of thorns, and the reefs have recovered quickly. The Patch Reefs are a transition zone from the inner lakes and mangroves of the Rock Islands to open ocean. Here, there are lots of branching corals and also schools of fast-swimming fish like this Dascyllus reticulatus darting in and out of coral to gather food in the current.

  • The corals living in the shallow waters around Fantasy Island in the Patch Reefs of Palau were devastated by a massive crown of thorns attack following extensive bleaching damage caused by El Niño in 1998. This photograph was taken in 2011, just 13 years after the corals here were wiped out.

  • Cute yellow coral goby (Gobiodon okinawae) living among branches of Acropora coral at Fantasy Island, part of the Patch Reefs of Palau. This area was devastated by the el Nino of 1998 and a subsequent crown of thorns infestation. The area has since recovered and is a thriving, healthy reef system.

  • Healthy cabbage coral (Turbinaria reniformis) formation surrounded by basslets, damsels and other tropical reef fish. Photographed at about 15 meters depth on a dive site near Normanby Island in Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea that we named Julian's Cabbage Patch because there was so much cabbage coral.
