Researchers recently uncovered the largest known coral in the Pacific Ocean, measuring 32 meters in length and 34 meters in width, located off the coast of the Solomon Islands. Dubbed a ‘mega coral’, it is three times larger than the previous record holder, known as ‘Big Momma’, and even surpasses the size of a blue whale. Unlike typical coral reefs made up of many smaller corals, this is a single massive specimen formed by a complex network of nearly a billion tiny polyps. The finding offers hope amidst global coral bleaching caused by rising sea temperatures.
