Exclusive photos reveal a sprawling, 300-year-old coral near Solomon Islands, recently discovered by the National Geographic Society’s Pristine Seas expedition team.

The "mega" coral is 112-feet wide, 105-feet long and 18-feet high, making it larger than a blue whale, the world's largest animal.

A group of scientists has discovered the world’s largest single coral, measuring more than 100 feet long, in the southwest Pacific Ocean. It’s more than three times bigger than the previous record holder,

Scientists said on Thursday they found what is believed to be the world's largest coral, which has been growing undisturbed in the Solomon Islands for possibly 300 years.

At 111 feet wide, 104 feet long, 18 feet high, and 600 feet around this stunning organism in the southwest Pacific Ocean is the world’s largest known coral that was discovered by accident. It is a conglomerate of individual creatures called coral polyps that have grown over 300 years.

Now, the largest coral ever recorded has been discovered, scientists said Thursday, and it’s so big it can be seen from space. It was found by a National Geographic team conducting an expedition in the Solomon Islands in October to study ocean health.

Scientists say they've discovered a "mega coral" three times bigger than the previous record holder - so huge they initially thought it was a shipwreck.
