Global Reef reports a giant Diploastrea

Another giant from our partners Global Reef, a new giant 𝘋𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢 sitting at a depth of 7m and measuring 6.8m x 2.8m. And a close up of its truly beautiful coral polyps. These species seem to grow very slowly, possibly making even the smallest of the giants a very old organism.
