Socotra’s biodiversity on land is undisputed and world famous, but it is equally diverse on the coast and in the sea. I am focusing on the terrestrial realm but had a brief encounter of the marine life during low tide here at Dihamri. This Violet Zoanthids (Zoanthus sansibaricus) was growing in very shallow water and as such endures the prolonged heat during midday low tides.
Some scientific data on the fish diversity:
