Lihaga Island is an uninhabited island famous for its Mandarin fish. The male Mandarin fish comes out around 5:30 PM to court the female, performing a unique dance during their mating ritual. Once the pair unites, they swim upwards and leave the coral to spawn before diving back into the staghorn coral to take shelter. The Mandarin fish has become a major attraction for divers on this island, and various other marine species are scattered around the area. If tourists want to go snorkeling, they should be cautious of the currents, but this spot offers a truly unique experience.
