Divers here have reported a mix of reef fish and coral species, including Atlantic blue tang, stoplight parrotfish, and yellowtail parrotfish moving over coral growth that includes elkhorn coral, mustard hill coral, symmetrical brain coral, thin leaf lettuce coral, and massive starlet coral. Blade fire coral and yellowtail damselfish have also been noted on the site.
