ASD164 is pretty clean from marine debris. Corals are in good condition, with many marine life especially sharks were spotted. Black tip reef shark swim freely. A bit drop in parrotfishes population, hence algae dominating small part of the reef.

Some information are needed on the algae eater fishes.
