Stargazer Reef

Jewfish or Goliath Grouper on Stargazer

Stargazer Reef is not a reef – it’s an underwater sculpture that looks like a series of metal saw horses.  A thin layer of coral has grown to cover the table tops and legs, so there is a small neighborhood of fish living there.  You can always bet on finding mangrove snappers, angel fish, and one huge resident Goliath Grouper, A.K.A jewfish.  The jewfish really stands out, since Stargazer Reef is located on a desert of sand.  The poor thing tries to hide under the “tables” but you can always spot him a million miles away!
