Gota Abu Ramada consists of a huge coral block, located close to Abu Ramada from
which
the name gota, piece, has been derived. This small site, on a group of coral pinnacles
just offshore from Abu Ramada, is an incredibly dense collection of the best in coral
growth and reef fishes. The pinnacles are carpeted in rich layers of coral, with
colourful soft corals predominating, along with some gorgonians.
This place is
famous for its huge amount and variety of soft and hard corals with dominance of
brain corals, the largest and most beautiful in the region.
Gota Abu Ramada is
commonly known as the aquarium for obvious reaons. The sheer number of fish here
is what makes this site so special.
It is home to many kinds of fish in huge quantities.

and glassfish. It is certainly not unusual to meet morays, cornetfish, jacks and
barracuda. With a trained eye you will also spot nesting triggerfish and crocodilefish. |
