Lekuan Pygmy

Lekuan Pygmy sits within the Lekuan wall system off Bunaken Island in Bunaken National Marine Park, North Sulawesi, reached by short boat rides from Manado or nearby Bunaken resorts. Like the other Lekuan sites, it follows a steep drop-off wall where currents can run strong. Divers here have reported a range of nudibranchs, including Alcala's, Anna's, Diana's, Loch's, and Willan's Chromodoris along with Crested Nembrotha, and small reef residents such as blackspotted puffers, small giant clams, chocolate chip sea stars, and blue Linckia sea stars along the wall.
