On Wednesday, a team of researchers and filmmakers exploring the Solomon Islands revealed that they found what they claim is the world’s largest individual coral colony.
The coral, a communal organism comprising millions of animals called polyps, is 34 meters wide and 32 meters long — and so large it can be seen from space.
A typical coral reef is made of many different coral colonies, most of which are genetically distinct, whereas this is just one individual.
