Surprisingly, Twins should actually be called "Triplets" because it consists of three pinnacles. There are two large collections of boulders covered in corals and a smaller, deeper group of rocks a bit farther west!

The shallower pinnacle boasts Christmas tree worms, adding their colorful touch. You'll see Longface Emperor fish, Pipefish, and Yellow Boxfish tucked into the rocky crevices. Look under the ledges, and you'll spot the Blue Spotted rays, while in the shadows, curious Snappers make their appearance.
