Location:
SW of Cohen Island, Pipe-line
Depth: 15.0-18.0 m
Habitat: Pile of igneous rocks to 4 m high covering pipe-line, thus forming a linear artificial reef across a flat sandy bottom. Little benthic growth on reef, comprised mainly of encrusting coral colonies and small isolated colonies of Turbinaria and robust Acropora. Fish life conspicuously concentrated on side of the reef exposed to the current; some very large schools of lutjanids and pomacentrids.
