Fig. 1: Overview on the main characteristics of the types and subtypes. Coral diversity: low (1-3 taxa), moderate (4-7
taxa), high (>7 taxa); Colony distances: close (touching or centimetre scale), moderate (decimetre scale), wide (metre
scale); Diversity of other fauna: low (none or few other fauna), moderate (low diverse faunas), high (diverse faunas);
Abundance: rare (0-~20% of all exposures), moderate (~20%-~40% of all exposures), common (>~40% of all
exposures) (modified from ARETZ 2010).
