Scientists say they have found the *world's largest coral "pulsing with life and colour" near the Pacific's Solomon Islands* .  https://image.nostr.build/954185b9291fe947f62b7ba238e571c046a16d086d507b75763c8f181326bfc0.jpg
🇸🇧  The *coral is so immense* that researchers sailing the crystal waters of the Solomon archipelago initially thought they had stumbled across a hulking shipwreck. 
 
🐠 Measuring 34 metres wide (111 feet) and 32 metres long (104 feet), *the "mega coral" was three times bigger than the previous record holder* -- a coral dubbed "Big Momma" in American Samoa. 
 
The researchers said the *standalone structure had been growing for some 300 years* , and is distinct from a coral reef, which is made from many distinct coral colonies.
