A giant Pavona in a sandy lagoon

54 meters in perimeter

Who said sandy lagoons are lifeless? ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ‘€ We stumbled upon this giant Pavona sp. coralโ€”54 meters in perimeter!โ€”in a spot with barely any coral cover. Even in murky waters, nature finds a way! While part of it showed some damage, the rest of the colony looked impressively healthy. Proof that the ocean is full of surprises! ๐Ÿ’™
