The article discusses research on the coral called Leptoseris kalayaanensis found in South China Sea. It references a study by Bert W. Hoeksema at the National Museum of Natural History in the Netherlands, and his colleagues, published in an issue of "Zoological Studies." The researchers studied a specimen that was photographed on the side of a big boulder under a steep cliff, which has a white coral margin and white-tipped spines. They conclude that the coral represents the first ever record of the species from Vietnam.
