Angel's Window
Angel's Window is a twin-peaked coral pinnacle off the north coast of Lembeh Island that rises to about a metre below the surface. One side slopes to a plateau at 15 m, the other drops off with a large swim-through — the 'window' — at roughly 22–25 m, lit by morning sun. Gorgonians around it hold Bargibant's, Denise and Pontohi pygmy seahorses, and a large stonefish, robust ghost pipefish, Xeno crabs and twin-spot lionfish have been reported.
