New 'golden tree' coral species defies known classification
Original: This “golden tree” coral was too strange for any known family
Scientists have described an unusual coral dubbed the 'golden tree' that proved too distinct to fit into any established coral family. Its strange form has led researchers to propose it belongs to a new taxonomic grouping, highlighting how much of ocean biodiversity remains undocumented. The finding is drawing attention from marine biology enthusiasts and taxonomy observers.
Why now: The discovery of a coral so distinct it requires a new family is a rare taxonomic event generating interest in marine science.
