Coral Gardens

Coral Gardens covers a sprawling shallow shelf split into ten named pockets: Anemone Hills, Blighted Coral, Graveyard, Leadzone, North Raceway, South Raceway, Plateaus, Shallows, Tufa Towers, and the Shallows split across the seam.

It is the densest fauna biome in the current build. Halfmoon shoals dominate the open water; Geordies, Pneuma and Bullethead populate the rocky pockets; Anemone Crabs, Four-Eye, and Coral Crabs occupy the reef edges. Most early-game cooking chains start with fish caught here.

Coral Gardens is also where the Marrowbreach starts to appear, and the Blighted Coral pocket contains corrupted variants tied to mid-game story beats.
