Floating Stones are a non-hazardous decorative type of life form belonging to the flora category. They are found exclusively in the Grand Reef and Deep Grand Reef area.
Currently, the Floating Stones serve only as decorations and are uninteractable.
Appearance
The Floating Stones resemble a suspended blue orb, with a jade green pattern on it. It is caught up in a maroon colored net of what appear to be its roots. This also suggests that the orb is floating.
They seem to emit a bright cyan bioluminescent glow.

Trivia
- It was originally envisioned that the Floating Stones would explode upon impact, thus creating a natural underwater minefield.[1] This may no longer be implemented.[2]
- Floating Stones used to be much larger on average than the current ones in the game.
