Excellent news, the quest Bounty: More Coral Ancients has now been nerfed to require only seven Coral Ancients.
This means you can now complete the quest by killing seven of the nine [npc=152559] which spawn in Damprock Cavern.

Blizzard, really? Where in the quest description does it say, "[npc=152565]s or [npc=152560]s are the Coral Ancients you need to kill."?
Searching high and low for a mob with the name, "Coral Ancient" They don't exist, some player was fighting a Reefwalker and was having a bit of trouble so I thought I'd help him as I was having no luck finding these "Coral Ancients". Turns out, after we killed the Seashelf Reefwalker, my quest objective changed from 0/7 to 1/7.
Why do you feel the need to make the quest objectives so ambiguous that we NEED to come to wowhead in order to find out what we need to do with the quests? It is YOUR job to make the quests clear and understandable, not vague and obtuse. Do your damn job!

Description
Coral ancients are beginning to awaken from their long slumber. I warn you, these are very dangerous creatures of immense size and power. If more of them begin to awaken, our forces will be in great danger. Once you have defeated some of these ancients, report to the quartermaster to claim your reward.
