More dead Acropora tables, 1999.  This group of species visually dominated the zone from about 5 - 15 m deed on many reefs in Chagos, and was the group which suffered the most, with almost none left alive.  It is rare deeper down where there was more general survival in some areas of the Indian Ocean, but there would be little of this kind of coral below about 30 m deep in Chagos.
