An underwater photo of the soft coral Hicksonia tohrui from Iriomote Island, Japan. The coral looks a little like tiny, white laced blossoms. A caption explains: "... as well as an entirely new coral family (Hicksoniidae), which includes a new species found in Western Australia and Japan." The photo is credited as being by Andrew Baird.

This research has led to a major rethink of #CoralClassification across the Indo-Pacific.

The team also identified a new genus and species from Japan (Bairdium iriomotejimaensis), as well as an entirely new coral family (Hicksoniidae).
