Lihaga Island is an uninhabited island, famous for its Mandarin fish. Male Mandarin fish typically emerge around 5:30 PM to court the females, and their unique courtship involves a dancing display. Once they pair up, they swim upwards and leave the coral to mate, releasing sperm and eggs before diving back down to the staghorn coral to seek shelter. The Mandarin fish is a major attraction for divers on this island, along with a variety of other marine life found in the area.
