Shaped like a horseshoe and with a sandy bottom, Ngerchong Inside curves toward Denges channel and is protected by the outer reef wall. At Ngerchong Inside Cuttlefish can be seen year round as it is a breeding and hatching ground. The female will lay dozens of 2-inch long 'grapes-shaped' white eggs among branching hard corals. She will hover around her nest until the eggs hatch. To locate the cuttlefish swim along the edge of the reef where it meets the sandy bottom, stay 3-6 feet off the bottom. Cuttlefish are masters of disguise. Shrimp, Crab, Nudibranchs, Feather worms, Garden eels and many shells, Turtles and occasionally Mantas or Sting rays.
