The Porites colony measures roughly 140 buses in length and covers an area comparable to three Melbourne Cricket Grounds. Researchers believe it could be a single giant organism that has grown undetected for decades in deep, cool waters that may have shielded it from recent bleaching events. The discovery was made by an Australian crew during recent surveys.Why it mattersMost large coral formatio
