Such colonies act as islands on the plain and become centers of focus for fish and invertebrate populations. This colony is approximately 3m high and in greatest D. The ecotone between the gorgonian zone (right) and the fore- reef slope (left) is extremely sharp (arrows). Coral coverage changes from less than 10% to greater than 25% in less than 3 meters horizontal distance at a depth of 10m on Carysfo
