Reef Dwellers
Goliath Grouper (Epinephelus itajara) in Moon Pool of the Aquarius Habitat
A Goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara) is mirrored in the calm water of the entry bay (or Moon pool) to the Aquarius Habitat. The underwater habitat allows teams of divers and scientists to live underwater and to conduct a variety of experiments and research projects related to the coral reef environment. The manned habitat also functions as an artificial reef, allowing the attachment and growth of coral colonies and hiding places for various types of marine life.
