Coral Reef

The **Coral Reef** is an area home to many vibrant and valuable fish which aren't encountered closer to shore. It is the area beyond the Open Ocean, and carries on until the large Empty cave after which the Drop off starts.

The Coral Reef features an abundance of easy-to-catch Small and Medium fish with high sell prices, making it the perfect place to make extra cash.

## Sub-regions

### Reef

The coral reef itself is a small raised area on top of the coral wall. It is immediately recognisable thanks to the dense, colourful corals and multitude of Small and Medium fish that swim around it.

### Reef wall

The cliff face which forms the western edge of the coral reef is also known as the reef wall, and forms the western wall of the chasm as it gradually descends. Some unique fish are found swimming close to it.

### Coral basin

The coral basin is a large, deep basin directly east of the reef itself. It is home to a number of reef fish, as well as some unusual varieties that are found nowhere else. In the floor of the basin there is a narrow opening that leads down into the coral basin caves.

### Coral Caves

A large and deep network of small caves where many rare and very expensive fish can be found such as the crystalfish.

## Fish

Most of the fish found in the Coral Basin are unique, colourful types that can only be caught in this area. However, as always there are some familiar faces, such as Grumpers and Sourfish.
