The special fish

Every so often a special fish swims through the Coral Reef. It only stays for about 20 seconds, so tap it quickly: it is worth 10× a normal epic catch and counts toward the Legend Hunter milestone. What is it? You’ll have to catch it to find out.

Critters

Critters are not fish, but they wander through and you can catch them for bonus coins and a spot on the Critters page of your Fishdex.

Bird spotting

The Frigatebird flies over the water here from time to time. Tap it to spot it; your first sighting of each kind of bird gives you a free item.

Watch out for

Hazards glow red and show a warning before they arrive. Thick Gloves from the shop keep you safe for three minutes.

Something hidden

There is one hidden thing to find at the Coral Reef. It only peeks out for a few seconds at a time, so keep your eyes open. Finding it pays a coin bonus and a Lucky Lure.

Variation: Reef at Dusk
