The fourth of our acrylic tunnels immerses you in the color and splendor of an Indo-Pacific coral reef environment. With approximately 60,000 gallons of seawater, this exhibit introduces you to colorful Tangs, playful Unicornfish, rare Groupers, Honeycomb Moray Eels, a quiet Port Jackson Shark and our new baby Bonnetheads. Don't forget to say hello to our resident Porcupine fish - which can swell to the size of a basketball!

Introducing Sunshine, the 1st baby Shark Ray on display in this hemisphere.

We call her Sunshine. You'll call her adorable. She's the latest history-making addition to our family and the first baby shark ray on display in this hemisphere. She's Sweet Pea's brand new baby sister - and a bundle of joy at almost 25 pounds. Sunshine came to us from Sweat Pea's home in the Penghu Islands of Taiwan. She'll help us understand how baby shark rays grow up so we're prepared if the stars of the world's first shark ray breeding program, Sweet Pea and Scooter, have a baby of their own someday.
