Warmer Waters

Caves & Coral Reefs

Marvel at the colours that our warmer waters radiate. From colourful corals to colourful tropical fish species there is so much to see and discover!

Take a deep look into our caves and peruse the coral reefs all teeming with life and vibrancy. From small shoaling species to larger dominating characters to meet.

This is one of our most popular displays so take it all in and be exported to this tropical underwater world!

Lionfish

Red Lionfish (Pterois volitans) are beautiful looking tropical fish. Don’t be lured in by their attractive appearance though, these striking stripes and long fins are a warning sign to stay away because they’re extremely dangerous.
