Grey reef shark
Laamu Maavah Kandu is a year-round cleaning area, recorded across several hundred surveys, and also holds an aggregation of silvertip sharks.
Turtles — no atoll-level seasonal study exists; treat them as year-round residents rather than a season
Mantas — reported at Fushi Kandu in the southwest monsoon, but not from an assessed source we can stand behind
