At first, Hairball seems like a boring plain of black sand, but it's actually one of Lembeh's most famous dive sites. The amount of variety between all the critters is simply stunning.
If you enjoy macro photography, Nudi Falls is a great way to focus your lens on anything from the titular Nudibranchs to tiny frogfish slowly moving along the sand. There's a miniwall with an electric clam as well.
