Intro
For this Hybrid Star Battle Series I will be sharing a new puzzle each week combining Star Battle with another puzzle genre. This week's genre is Coral. This one is the closest yet to those good ol' Nurikabe star battles I've done before, but has it's own twist. The outside connectivity rule makes these regions a bit hard to squash together, so I hope you enjoy the slightly larger than usual puzzle!
Rules
Standard Coral and Starbattle rules apply.

1-star Example (Penpa+ link):
Lösungscode: Along row 9, then column 9: for each continuous set of shaded cells, put the length of the set. For a star, put *. In the above example, using row 4 then column 4, the solution code is 11*3*.

Love these every week! And the other day I had to go back and do some of your catalogue of various hybrids, which was a fun trip.
