在珊瑚礁和海草群落之间，通常会有一个2到10米宽的密集放牧区或“光环”。放牧的海胆迪亚德马antillarum菲利普在夜间迁移的珊瑚礁被认为是形成晕的主要因素。
Between patch reefs and marine grass communities there is normally a zone or "halo" of heavily grazed grass 2 to 10 meters wide. Grazing by the echinoid Diadema antillarum Philippi during nocturnal migrations off the reefs is found to be the major factor in the formation of halos.
