There are many wildlife creatures to look out for near the coral reefs on your next Caribbean vacation. These coral reef animals consist of many critters, in various sizes, these animals are:

·    Tropical Fish
·        Sea Turtles
·         Sharks
·         Jellyfish
·         Coral


With a variety of fish, this means big camouflage predators hidden around the coral reefs. But the predators are not always to hidden! Look around because you may be watched, coral reef fish bring gain a lot of attention form Hammerhead sharks.

Keep your eyes down in the sand of close to and Seaweed as you may also be lucky enough to see a Sea Turtle swimming around!

If you see a turtle you are bound to see the one and only Porcupine-fish or otherwise known as the puffer fish. To see these fish in action can highlight any Caribbean vacation to the coral reefs.


Finally be sure to stand clear of Jellyfish and the coral reefs! Though they are both wonderful creatures to look at from far, contact with any of these wild life creatures would only result in a nasty sting or scrape. 

Be sure to remember your underwater camera!
