The many branching and plate corals form a complex reef substrate of holes and crevices that is home to a variety of colorful reef fish, both large and small, that delight divers and snorkelers. However, most of the fish using the live coral reef habitat as home are voracious predators on small juvenile reef fish trying to settle from the open water, or pelagic, habitat onto the reef.
