One of the most common fish to see in the coral reefs of Puerto Galera is a Scorpaenopsis oxycephala, otherwise known as the Tassler Scorpionfish.
The tassled scorpionfish is a carnivorous fish,they also have venomous spines same as the stonefish and lionfish. This fish can grow up to thirty-six (36) centimeters in leangth and it can have different colors. The adult tassled scorpionfish are bearded with a few tassles below the mouth and that is where this fish got its name. They are normally seen on coral reefs ranging from one meter to thirty-five (35) meters underwater. Most often they look like rock that is why sometimes people accidentally thread on their venomous spines wich causes painful injury.
Now can you see where the tassled scorpionfish is???

One of the common fish that you will encounter at Puerto Galera specially at the dive site called Sabang Wrecks and M/V Alma Jane are the Batfish. There can be a big school of them on this sites and they swim closer to the divers.
One of the family of the batfish, which is a bit hard to find, is theTiera Batfish also known as a Longfin Batfish. This fish can grow up to a maximum length of 60 centimeters. They have long dorsal fin that becomes shorter as they grow older. They are very peaceful and social fish and can form a school with other fish. Divers can easily swim closer to them without scaring them away, that is how social they can be.
