Join us to explore one of the largest anemone population of Phu Quoc Island at Half-moon Reef, South sea of Phu Quoc Island. Phu Quoc large Golden Anemone Reef is one of the ocean treasuries in Phu Quoc Sea that we discovered through our exploration of Phu Quoc coral reefs. It is a large anemone reef that is a golden color and we name it Golden Anemone Reef for that reason. Situated by the foot of a large cliff at the depth of 5 meters then it is usually ignored by tourists as it is not within the range of vision on days of turbid water. You need to decensde down at least 3 meters or 4 meters to get a clear view of the Phu Quoc large Golden Anemone Reef. (Check out Phu Quoc Coral Observations).
