Just gonna think. . .ooohh, here's a thought to kind of make the island even more interesting. How about have it safe during the daylight hours but have this species of extremely deep dwelling aggressive organisms (they'd hibernate on the sea floor, appearing in the form of abnormally shaped boulders beneath the island) arrive through the "eye" in the middle of the island during the night and have them stalk the island, plowing through all of the local plant life and leaving the place bare (your fair game as well, if your not careful). When daylight comes, however, the unique nature of the plant life shows and the entire island "reforests" from bulbs and spores underground, leaving the place as pristine as it was before. The benefit of this? Said aquatic horrors excrete certain trace elements in the form of limestone nodes after a consuming a certain amount of plant life, making the place a gold mine. . .if you keep an eye on the day-to-night cycle. Might be extremely hard to implement. . but, eh, just a thought
