The reef sits atop a seamount in deep water. It is an isolated location some {{convert|60|km|mi}} from other reefs. The almost vertical reef walls, which rise from a depth of about {{convert|2000|m|ft}}, are home to a dwarf form of Nautilus pompilius that is isolated from other nautilus populations by more than {{convert|100|km|mi}}.[3][1][4] Schindleria brevipinguis, one of the world's smallest fish, is found in the Osprey Reef lagoon.[5] The reef has no intertidal or emerged sand cay.[6] The surrounding waters are part of the South Equatorial Current. The reef is protected within the Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve.[7] CoralsA 2009 expedition aimed to make discoveries in the deeper parts of the reef between {{convert|92|and|800|m|ft}} below sea level. Relict fauna communities consisting of rock sponges, glass sponges, brachiopods and stalked sea lilies were discovered.[7] DivingThe reef has been described as the "ultimate reef diving adventure".[8] The reef is home to large and colourful soft corals.
