Move over, blue whale. This 300+ year old 34m coral is now the largest animal* known. Hopefully its depth, as described, can keep it going 🦑🧪

Hoping that it doesn’t fall victim to the constant bleaching events that Barrier reef has, that’s depleted its ability to survive warming sea temps.
Look on a satellite view of any map and you can see people, from above they are probably less than 2ft x 1ft.
But we don't say 'so big they can be seen from space'.
Hope you all check out the crab feed for more marine biology fun, and welcome to bluesky where we love invertebrates
(anyway I doubt this will pop up for you :P)

And.... The coral has now been bleached out due to warming in the Pacific.
Any tips for a newbie. I just moved over from my 10+ year old account on Twitter, and I’d love to rebuild my followers.
We flutter
(They're called skeets here but that's a whole thing)
I know we have all the bells and whistles now but sometimes you gotta pay homage
at least it's not something terrestrial like some dumbass tree

Apples and protozoa, y'know?
(Seals are acceptable)
Bugs rule.
THAT is the largest single organism presently known.
Corals are colonies, not ‘a single organisms.”
Conjuay first botched the reading of "animal," and then the asterisk denoting colony of animals.
Appeals are prohibited (except in this case by blue whales).

Considering moving there for about 4 years and 2 months.

ergo, blue whales don't have to move over
