Accordingly, sites 43 and 46 have both been classified as medium / high resemblance to S. spinulosa reef.
From the patchy nature of the reef recorded and the moribund tubes, there was good evidence that these are hydrodynamically active areas. It is clear that reefs forming in this area may be ephemeral and, although the specific locations may change, the propensity for the presence of reef is evident.
