Table Coral City

Table Coral City is one of a trio of seamounts beyond the north-western edge of the house reef. Its upper slopes are covered in layered, mushroom-shaped table corals, with branching and cabbage corals, sponges and gorgonian fans. Thousands of fusiliers can gather above the plates, barracuda pass by, and careful searching among the corals may reveal frogfish and octopus.
