What's right: World's largest coral discovered

Scientists have discovered the world's largest coral reef in the Solomon Islands, which holds centuries of ocean secrets. It measures 34 metres wide and five metres high, making it longer than the world's biggest mammal, the blue whale. It is made of nearly one billion little polyps, pulsing with life and colour and it is so huge that it is visible from space.
