It is confirmed that the Carar has caused a global extinction of sorts, severely decimating numerous species and outright wiping out whole ecosystems. What we, as the player, see in the game is just what has managed to survive and rebuild after about 1000 years of widespread Carar infection. it could be that the Sparse reef, for some reason or another, just isn't an environment where the surviving species can really develop in or colonize. The developers stated it's just a filler biome, but perhaps they'll update it after they've added the Twisty Bridges underneath/besides the Grand Reef in future update.
