Earlier this week, scientists revealed the discovery of a new species of deep-sea coral. The new species is a type of bamboo coral found 700-1200 meters in the Gulf of Alaska. As Peter Etnoyer, one of the discoverers, says on Deep Sea News, "The fact that this bamboo coral is relatively common, but new to science, tells you how little we know about the deep sea." Congratulations on the find!
