Scientists say they have found the world's largest coral "pulsing with life and colour" near the Pacific's Solomon Islands . 
🇸🇧 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.
