About the Philippine Coral Reef

At 25 feet deep, the Philippine Coral Reef tank is one of the deepest and largest indoor display of living coral in the world. Under the surface, hundreds of fish mingle with eels, anemones, starfish, and coral, adding up to some of the most dramatic underwater views available without diving.
