  • Blue Coral (Distichopora robusta) growing on submarine rock outcrops at approx 15-20 M depth off the SW corner of Jicarita Island.<br />
This unique coral species was first discovered here at this location, and is only known from small areas of Coiba National Park and some nearby sites in the Gulf of Chiriqui.  First scientifically described in 2004.  Diver Kevan Mantell, who was the person who first brought the unique corals to scientific attention, swims through the landscape of underwater pinnacles.<br />
