400 Year Old Black Coral New Zealand

Scientists have spotted a massive black coral specimen in New Zealand waters that's estimated to be around 400 years old. This find really drives home just how long deep-sea ecosystems can last and gives researchers a unique chance to study marine life that has managed to survive for centuries straight. Just a heads up that the image attached here was generated by artificial intelligence so it's not a real photo of the actual coral.
