False claim: Aldabra is the world's largest raised coral atoll. The largest raised coral atoll is Lifou (Lifu) in the Loyalty (Loyaut) Islands of New Caledonia, with an area of 443 sq miles / 1,146 sq km. Aldabra is also smaller than Rennell Island (255 / 660) in the Solomon Islands. Kodiak Island, Alaska.
Reefs, which are usually made up of many colonies, are much bigger still. The largest coral reef is the Great Barrier Reef, which spans 1,600 miles (2,600 km) off the east coast of Australia. It is so large that it can be seen from space! It takes a long time to grow a big coral colony or a coral reef, because each coral grows slowly.
