Trivia

• Unnamed Coral Species C, D and E were originally meant to spawn on the backs of Reefback Leviathans however, C and D were moved to the Lost River whilst E remains unused.
• Although coral and fauna are sorted separately in the PDA, coral on Earth are a type of fauna. Presumably the same is true on 4546B for the corals to be named as such.
