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.

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.
