About this place
What to expect
The Three Pyramids is a collection of three coral bommies on the sheltered western side of Lady Elliot Island. Rising from the sand in depths from 20m, these coral heads attract a great variety of marine life, with each one home to a good population of reef fish and invertebrates. A close look at these coral heads will often reveal many wonderful critters, like octopus, shrimps, crabs, nudibranchs and even leaf scorpionfish. These bommies are also home to turtles, coral trout, batfish, moray eels and tasselled wobbegongs. The largest bommie is a busy cleaning station and a popular stop for manta rays. Be sure to keep an eye on the sand between and around the bommies too, where stingrays, shovelnose rays, leopard sharks and colonies of garden eels can often be found.
