Coral Reef Zones - Coral Zones1. Head Corals

Page 39: Reef Architecture and Zones. Reef Architecture -Structure of a ‘Typical’ Caribbean Reef (Goreau)

Coral Reef Zones - Coral Zones1. Head Corals

-Depths of 5-10 m

Montastrea annularis,

Montastrea cavernosa,

Porites astreoides,

Colpophyllia natans

and species of Diploria.

These corals are massive and usually boulder-likeand resistant to storm disturbance

Page 41: Reef Architecture and Zones. Reef Architecture -Structure of a ‘Typical’ Caribbean Reef (Goreau)

Coral Reef Zones - Coral Zones2. Acropora palmata Zone

-high to moderate energy reefs-weaker than head corals but orients branches to minimize shear forces-faster grower-needs waves to wash sediment off

Coral Reef Zones - Coral Zones5. Plate Zone

-favours growth of plate-like forms of a species or plate-like species to capture most light

-corals are more fragile
