The Sparse Reef is a unique biome located southwest of Lifepod 5, bordering one of the Grassy Plateaus, the first Blood Kelp Zone, Floating Island, Sea Treader's Path and the Grand Reef. As its name implies, this area is very sparse and is home to a few types of small fauna and flora.
It also houses its own cave system, the Deep Sparse Reef.
Description
The Sparse Reef is composed of relatively flat areas covered by green mounds, scattered with Brain Coral, as well as large fissures where most of the bioluminescent flora inhabit, notably the Eye Stalks.
There are also spire-like structures found along the border of the Sparse Reef next to the Grassy Plateaus, under the Floating Island and near the Grand Reef. Found within these spires is a small entrance to the Grand Reef Caves.
The dangers in the Sparse Reef are Bleeders and Tiger Plants, which are found in the deeper parts of the biome.
