Some dive sites are ... special! Like the Anilao pier. I wrote a blog post about it. Enjoy!
Here is a really nice crab from the pier:

Cool! I didn't know you could dive Anilao Pier. So far, your photos remind me of the critters I saw at Dauin Pier in Dumaguete.

The Ducomi Pier was a great dive site to bad they shut it down. At the time it was being touted as one of the top ten sites in the world.
I was in Anilao in Jan and I neglected to dive the pier there. Stupid me for not doing enough research. I Love piers.
I did dive a pier in the Sipalay area and it was a really good site. Muck bottom with with great habitat on the pilings. Six kinds of Nudi's and a pair of frogfish right together.

In fact, Anilao Pier is not a "Pier dive" unlike Ducomi, Jetty in Padang Bai or Laha 2 "Twilight zone" in Ambon but rather a mucky shallow dive (which can get really sticky and yucky) off a pier which you never come across any pillar of.
That said this is an excellent night dive full of crustacea (Coleman & Brookes' shrimps, Saron, Donald duck, Emperors on sea cucumbers) and octopii (already had a 10 bobtail squid dive there, starry night and sometimes mimic), lots of various molluscs too.

Anilao Pier is a great site. I had a couple of good dives there both day and night. This shot was taken during a day dive.
