Sublittoral
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sublittoral comes from the latin words "Sub" (Under) and "Littora" (Beach), referring to that part of the Earths surface which are immediately below the inter-tidal zone and thus permanently covered with seawater.

this zone is above the infralittoral zone and is separated into three zones
This benthic zone is much more stable than the intertidal zone: temperature, water pressure, and the amount of sunlight remain fairly constant. Coral do not have to deal with as much change as intertidal zone organisms. They can live in both the intertidal zone and sublittoral zone. However they are more common in the sublittoral zone.
