Hawaiian gold coral (''Kulamanamana haumeaae'') is a rare, extremely long-lived deep-sea coral found on seamounts near Hawaii. One colony has been dated as 2,740 years old, while others are considered 5,000 years old.〔http://www.fws.gov/pacificremoteislandsmarinemonument/PP%20PRIMNM.pdf〕 Although it has been harvested commercially for use in jewellery for a long time, it was not formally described by taxonomists until 2012 when it was found to be related to both the genus ''Savalia'' and the octocoral-associated zoanthid, Corallizoanthus tsukaharai.〔Sinniger F, Ocaña OV, Baco AR (2013), (Diversity of Zoanthids (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) on Hawaiian Seamounts: Description of the Hawaiian Gold Coral and Additional Zoanthids ). ''PLoS ONE 8(1): e52607. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0052607''〕 ==In Culture== Gold coral is prized in jewellery making for its iridescent qualities which are similar to tiger's eye.〔(Guide to Precious Coral )〕 The coral featured on TV in an Octonauts special episode, The Great Christmas Rescue, when a 500-year-old specimen was rescued from under a rockslide on a seamount.
