That would be either Bikini Atoll or Christmas Island. Bikini is the Marshall Islands area, so you can be certain that impressive coral and live rock was destroyed. Bikini was the place where all the people had to be relocated and the island is still radioactive. Within days of the first bomb test the bikini swimsuit was named after the area. Seems a bit odd.
