Tropical Diver is a relaxing end to a journey through all the regions of the world at Georgia Aquarium. These tropical coral reef exhibits are appropriately arranged like a gallery of living art, where you’ll encounter curious garden eels popping up out of the sand. In Tropical Diver, living corals and thousands of colorful reef fish are presented in a faithful recreation of a tropical Pacific coral reef, complete with an overhead crashing wave.
In this colorful gallery, children finally “find Nemo,” as well as seahorses, fairy basslets, yellow-head jawfish and other jewels of the sea. Three impressive jelly exhibits will mesmerize you, while at the center of this gallery, one of the largest living reef exhibits of any aquarium in the world will take your breath away.
Fast Fact
The yellowhead jawfish spends most of the daylight hours feeding on plankton or using its large mouth to move sand or shell fragments from within and around its burrow.
