Cornucopia
Cornucopia ("horn of plenty") is named after the steady current that delivers plankton to its residents. It is a wall with ledges, undercuts and overhangs, decorated with sea fans, gorgonians, soft corals and groves of black coral. Whitetip reef sharks and mobula rays are reported, and the wall also hides small critters such as Randall's shrimp gobies. It is usually dived as a drift.
