Commentary

The Triton'trumpet, or Giant Triton, feeds on echinoderms. Especially the great coral eater Acanthaster. Here, having lunch of a more common seastar.

The dive site : Grotte Juliette

The dive begins inner lagoon. We drift along the north wall of the south pass : big coral and schools of fish (snappers,...). Then we go down to the Juliette cave, where a big moray called Juliette used to live (of course with Romeo, another big moray), and where live now, among glassfishes, a big grouper. The dive goes on amidst canyons and rocks : humphead wrasses, groupers, sting rays, eagle rays, jackfishes... and ends up far outer lagoon.
