Description[]
The Grand Reef is home to a limited amount offauna, including the large bottom-dwelling Sea Treader Leviathans, as well as two massiveGhost Leviathans. It is also known for its unique types of flora, from the many luminous Anchor Pods to the peculiar Membrain Trees. There are multipleentrances to small caves known as the Grand Reef Caves in the Grand Reef. Scattered deep within the Grand Reef are multiple hydrothermal vents.
Below this area, the player can find the Deep Grand Reef, a large system of caverns featuring similar types of flora and fauna, with the addition of Crabsquids and Jellyrays and the absence of the Sea Treader Leviathans.
Rubies andGel Sacks are commonly found in the Grand Reef, along with many other rare materials and fragments. Due to the abundance of hazardous fauna, depth, and general difficulty of navigation, exploring this biome early on without adequate gear is not recommended.
An easy way to get to this biome is to use the Floating Island as a landmark for its location.

Trivia[]
- In earlier builds, the Grand Reef had large pillar-like spikes, some of which were visible above the surface. These were removed and was explained to be temporary. However, the concept of them may have been used for inspiration of the Crag Field. Another reason for their removal is that they had bad models and were not destructible.[1]
- Certain structures have curious house-like caverns, very reminiscent of grotto-homes in primitive cultures.
- There used to be several of these large "buildings", however they were removed during development.
- The Grand Reef is the third largestbiome in Subnautica.
- There are actually only3types ofFlora in the Grand Reef: Anchor Pods, Gel sacks, and Membrain Trees. There are numerous species of unnamed seagrasses however which serve only as decoration.
- The Grand Reef is the only biome in the game to house two different leviathans: The Ghost Leviathan and the Sea Treader Leviathan.
