Concept: Communities of circalittoral caves and overhangs in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/A4.71
Preferred label	Communities of circalittoral caves and overhangs
Definition	Caves and overhanging rock in the circalittoral zone, away from significant influence of strong wave action (compare A3.71). This habitat may be colonised by a wide variety of species, with sponges such as [Dercitus bucklandi], anemones [Parazoanthus] spp. and the cup corals [Caryophyllia inornatus], [Hoplangia durotrix] and others particularly characteristic.
