There are numerous such lakes on different islands in Palau - the one everyone knows about is the most well known because there is a trail and a boat dock and has tourists. Yes, others exist.

As an aside to the original post, two places I dive in the Philippines, Moalboal, and Siquijor Island, where there is more of a shelf before the dropoff, the area that experiences exposure at low tide typically has very little coral growth on it. Not to say none, but very limited (Porites and softies, mostly) so I've always wondered if those places as shown in the above linked video were only exposed during spring tides?

Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.

Nope - seen it every day at all times of the year in Indonesia, Fiji and Australia. I'm sure it happens in the Phiippines, too - probably some of the barely above seawater sand islands or atolls.
