2 Mile Reefs - Roonies Reef

This reef has deep overhangs and gullies surrounded by sand patches, and it was the only reef in Sodwana where one yellow and two red Thorny seahorses (Hippocampus histrix) were found. Varieties of hard and soft coral can be found but one of the reef’s stand out features is the huge black coral tree with the resident log nose hawk fish. A number of cleaning stations with cleaning shrimps can also be found here. Reef fish are common in the area with sweepers and cardinal fish in the caves and overhangs.
