Massive single coral colony observed in Japan
By Leonard Ho - Posted Feb 13, 2015 02:15 PM
Off Okinawa, divers discovered what is possibly the largest single coral colony ever documented in Japanese waters. The herculean coral, a Pavona clavus, measures an astounding 24 meters (78 feet) in length, 17 meters (55 feet) in width, and ten meters (33 feet) in height.

The coral was discovered in 2010 but only recently professionally measured under commission from the Ministry of Environment Yaeyama Conservation Office.
