Heart of the Sea
Charismatic Sea Life
Home to a variety of Indo-Pacific species, including the Napoleon (or Māori) wrasse, blue speckled grouper, spotted unicornfish, and even a loggerhead sea turtle, Heart of the Sea is a 15-foot-deep, colorful paradise. Our second-largest habitat is a vibrant wonderland, showcasing the rich diversity of Australian marine life.
Animal Spotlights
Loggerhead Sea Turtle
Named for their large heads (which sport powerful jaws meant for eating hard-shelled prey), loggerhead sea turtles can live up to 80 years and average 250 pounds.
Napoleon Wrasse
Also known as a humphead or Māori wrasse, the Napoleon wrasse is one of the largest reef fish in the world, but that’s not the only thing about this captivating fish that turns heads.
Clownfish
These tiny, territorial fish don’t just live in anemones, they protect their symbiotic hosts loyally, rarely straying more than 30 cm away.
