They are commonly found in the epipelagic zone, the top layer of the ocean to a depth of about 200 m (660 ft). Numerous morphological features give flying fish the ability to leap above the surface of the ocean. One such feature is fully broadened neural arches, which act as insertion sites for connective tissues and ligaments in a fish's skeleton.
Hawaiian gold corals display an interesting growth mechanism, spreading at a rate of about 2.2 ± 0.69 cm yr−1 cm per year. [3] Radiocarbon dating has been used to determine the radial growth rate of K.haumeaae which exhibits a relatively slow radial growth rate with a remarkable age of 807 ± 30 years for a live-collected specimen, highlighting the species' exceptional longevity.
