the first largest is definitely The Great Barrier Reef. I'm pretty sure that the second largest is The Belize Barrier Reef. And for the third largest, I'm not sure, but I think it's the Red Sea Coral Reef.

∙ 11y agoTHE WORLD LARGEST BRAIN CORAL IS LOCATED IN SPEYSIDE ,TOBAGO.
Speyside, Tobago offer lots of great reasons to Scuba dive, drift diving, manta rays and lush coral reefs are just a few of the highlights. On a dive site named Kelleston Drain though, just south of Little Tobago is a brain coral colony that has been growing undisturbed for centuries.
This single colony is as large as a truck, about 10ft(3M) high and 16ft(5.3M) across, and is the largest single brain coral colony in the world! Comprised of millions of individual coral animals, huge as it is, the colony is very fragile.
It's recent rise to fame means that many divers are visiting the brain coral. This is great, but please be careful, never touch any corals. 'Minor' scrapes from fins or tanks can destroy the tissues of the coral animals, possibly leading to serious infection. At best the coral will suffer an ugly scar! Don't Touch! The coral is nestled at the edge of a reef slope, about 55ft (17.5M) deep. Undercut slightly on south side, the overhang sometimes attracts a nurse shark or moray eel.
The adjacent reef is full of colorful sponges, great branching corals and is a super place to see lots of big barracuda and, frequently, large green morays. In season, the surface waters (0-30ft / 0-10M) around the WBBC are the haunts of Tobago's famous manta rays! The current on Kelliston Deep (Kelleston Drain)is usually mild but steady, just right for drift divers of any experience level.
All this, just five minutes by boat from the pier at Speyside, Kelleston Drain and the World's Biggest Brain Coral are natural wonders not to be missed!
