Gold Coral thousand-year-old

Gold Coral thousand-year-old, Savalia savaglia, it 'a long-lived species, but rather rare. It appears that some very large colonies have reached the thousand years of age. The growth rate of the colony is slow and carbon-14 dating techniques have given an age of 2,700 years, giving this zoanthid one of the longest lifespans of any organism on Earth.

Tropical Jellyfish

We encountered this tropical jellyfish in the waters of the Maldives Islands, and as we've said on other occasions, we want to remind you that it's easy for marine animals to mistake jellyfish, which they feed on, for plastic bags, nylon, polystyrene, etc. So if you have the opportunity to swim in the sea remove plastic.
