The Alveo Reef system
The Alveo artificial reef system integrates six features mimicking the Honeycomb worm, Sabellaria alveolata, reef design:
(1) a subdivided Anchor that passively traps sediment for long-term stability,
(2) a narrow Neck that minimises scouring (erosion of the sediment),
(3) Surface Texturing via G-code to boost settlement area,
(4) a Habitat geometry drawn from Sabellaria reef creasing patterns,
(5) a Modular System enabling larger, load-distributing assemblies, and
(6) a Tonmasse Clay 3D Printed Body fired at 1050°C, matched to natural reef and sediment density for structural and biological compatibility.
