World's largest coral discovered in Solomon Islands

Scientists have discovered the world’s largest coral, which can be seen from space, in the Solomon Islands.

The mega coral is three times larger than the previous record-holder and is believed to be around 300 years old.

Scientists from the National Geographic Pristine Seas team were researching the health of the Solomon Islands’ ocean environments when they made the discovery. When underwater cinematographer Manu San Felix first saw the mega coral, he thought it was a shipwreck due to its large size.
