Coral Reef Gallery

The Coral Reef Gallery features nurse sharks, tropical fish, and invertebrates in a series of saltwater tanks that recreate Caribbean and Indo-Pacific reef environments. A touch pool allows guests to gently handle sea stars, urchins, and horseshoe crabs.

Coral reefs support approximately 25% of all marine species despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor. The gallery educates visitors about the threats reefs face from warming oceans, acidification, and pollution.
