I thuoght so too. My understanding is that the world's largest organism is a Trembling Aspen colony. Coral reefs are made of several distinct organisms.

No you see you misunderstand the concept of one organism in relation to a coral reef. Yes coral reefs can be home to many distinct organisms but the reef itself is considered one whole organism.

It depends an how you define "largest living organism". Depending on if you use surface area, mass, volume, etc, you can get different results. You could also say that General Sherman (a redwood tree) is the largest, but that would be using a different definition
It's customary to use "organism" when referring to a single entity. When referring to a collection of organisms working as a single unit, that's a "superoganism".

Last time that I checked the "largest living organism" on Earth was Yo momma.

One organism means it has one set of identical DNA, the multiple organisms that comprise the great barrier reef have different DNA from each other, making them DIFFERENT organisms from each other.The largest single organism is in fact the aspen colony Jack Ketch speaks of.

The tenth one is wrong. The primary colors of light are red, green, and blue. There for the statement should read "The water above divers filters out MOST of the red and GREEN light…" I said most because if it were all then there would be no blue hue… just blue.

Marine biologist here. The reef isn't a single organism.

Nope, George is right, coral reefs are the carbon buildup of dead coral polyps or something like that, however the system of alge living on it can be considered one of the largest ecosystems.

I thought the worlds biggest organism was the Hammond Organ-ism. And if all the SUV’s are to blame for Global Warming, then how does that raise ocean temperatures if it can only affect the top 10 feet of water. Sounds like warmer oceans are being warmed up from below. As in the 90% of volcanoes found.

The primary colors of light are red, blue and yellow. Green comes from blue and yellow. The water above the divers filters out most of the red and yellow light, not red and green.

Also the navy's Closed Circuit Rebreather was called the CCUBA which is Closed Circuit Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Nothing like the "aqua-lung" Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Just sayin……

like others have said a forest is actually considered an organism because its roots system connect all the trees together making it a single entity

the great barrier reef is not one organism, its billions of organisms.
