The location is highly unusual as most of the world\u2019s known coral reefs are found only around 25 metres.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">It means that there are many more large reefs out there, at depths of more than 30 metres unknown previously.
