Nemo's home (4)

I believe the answer is:

reef

(Other definitions for reef that I've seen before include "Rocky ridge near sea surface" , "marine hazard" , "Type of knot" , "Ridge of rock underwater" , "Chain of rocks near the surface of the sea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the LA Times.
