The Sparse Reef is a unique biome located southwest of Lifepod 5, bordering one of the Grassy Plateaus, 1st 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. This biome also is home to a Precursor Cache.

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 Eyes 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. <tabber>
