Smart's Lament
Smart's Lament (Abila Wall) on the north coast of Pura is a wall full of small crannies, covered with soft corals, black coral bushes and hydroids. A huge elephant-ear sponge about three metres wide juts out halfway along, and yellow cup corals open when the current runs, bringing schools of fusiliers and hunting jacks.
