               1.  An artificial reef module for positioning on the                   
               bottom of a body of water comprising, in combination,                  
                         said module having a solid filled body                       
                         with a plurality of substantially                            
                         solid imperforate planar faces,                              
                         said body and its faces comprising a                         
                         non-nesting module which, in                                 
                         combination with other like modules,                         
                         will not nest when on the bottom of                          
                         the body of water,                                           
                         said body being formed of concrete.                          
               6.  An artificial reef module mold, said mold comprising               
               in combination,                                                        
                    a plurality of triangular faces, each of which                    
                    is equilateral, one of which opens upwardly.
