Some images of the coral and marine life in #Fulidhoo #vaavuatoll #maldives. Corals environments are among the most important ecological niches in the Indian Ocean. Home to 1000s of species and an invaluable part of not only the local ecology but also the islands' human history.

An old hollowed-out #Poriteslutea #coral in the #Fulidhoo house reef #Maldives shallows. Home to small fish like a black #surgeonfish Acanthurus gahhm, sheltering in the shallow surf zone around the island reef. #coral #coralreefs #marinelife #maldives #marinelife
