Mesophotic coral ecosystem (MCEs), Reunion Island, lower mesophotic zone, scleractinian, hydrocoral, refugia, biodiversity, Southwestern Indian Ocean Keywords: mesophotic coral ecosystem (MCEs); Reunion Island; lower mesophotic zone; scleractinian; hydrocoral; refugia; biodiversity; Southwestern Indian Ocean EN mesophotic coral ecosystem (MCEs) Reunion Island lower mesophotic zone scleractinian hydrocoral refugia biodiversity Southwestern Indian Ocean 141 1 06/14/21 20210401 NES 210401 Despite increased attention over the last decade on Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems (MCEs) [[1], [3]], the lower mesophotic zone (60-150 m depth) characterized by low light levels, though still sufficient for coral growth and from which distinct benthic communities occur [[4]], remains poorly studied. The dominant benthic assemblage includes encrusting, foliaceous, and thin plate corals of the genus I Leptoseris i (Agariciidae) extending horizontally and of calcareous branching hydroids, commonly named lace corals (Stylasteriidae), belonging to I Stylaster flabelliformis i (Lamarck, 1816) erected vertically. A mesophotic coral community consisting of significant coral cover and abundance of zooxanthellate scleractinian corals and azooxanthellate hydrocorals was discovered (Figure 1).
