I...They look kinda scary to me...
So, I just back from Sippidan. While I was there, I stayed on Mabul and, hands down, one of my favorite dives (I did 4 there) was "Artificial Reel"
Now, what lived there? EVERYTHING Mabul has to offer. Ornate Ghost PF, Frogfish the size of a watch and some the size of a big man's shoe. Giant schools of jacks and barracuda, leaf scorpionfish and some of the biggest stone fish I've seen outside of Lembeh.
If a pile of "crap" like that can make such an amazing site, I can only hope KT's mission 10% of the success.
I'm sure Koh Tao's artificial reef once deployed and submerged will attract some residents (e.g BIG and nasty giant trigger fish) but I do not think it will be as "crowded" with creatures as Mabul or Lembeh. The Gulf of Thailand/South China Sea just simply hasn't got the diversity as the Indonesian and Malaysian sites.
