With 52 Hectares of dense stoney coral growth, Cordelia Banks at Roatan Island is home to the largest patch of Acropora cervicornis on the Meso-American Reef.  While the biodiversity here is dwarfed by the Philippines, the density of reef building corals and fish is impressive and provides us a benchmark for what Atlantic coral reefs can look like.
