Summary: 
(A) Seringapatam Reef, and the other reef atolls, rise from hundreds of metres depth, having steep outer-reef slopes and lagoons of varying sizes and shapes. (B) Coral communities on the outer eastern (leeward) slope of each reef are the most abundant and diverse, such as at Imperieuse Reef. (C) The shallow (< 20 m) lagoon at Clerke Reef has fields of staghorn corals surrounding massive bommies, often covered in corals that grow to the low tide mark. (D) The deep (50 m) lagoon at South Scott Reef has extensive communities of sponges, calcareous algae, hard and soft corals, well adapted to the low light levels.
