Coral Reef
Sometimes tunnel vision is a good thing. Like when it puts you smack dab in the middle of this colorful coral reef, surrounded by blacktip reef shark sharks, butterflyfish, and zebra sharks swimming above you.
How do sharks breathe? How do they reproduce? How do they move? How close do they live to NYC? (Hint: very). Explore the exhibit for answers, fun facts, and close-ups of the faces that swim beneath the surface!
Canyon's Edge
You don’t have to hold your breath to enjoy this underwater view. Though it may take your breath away! Stare into the deep as sand tiger sharks, sandbar sharks, and rough tail stingrays emerge from the shadows.
