Life in the “inoh”
Observe up close the creatures living in the shallow sandy zone.
“Inoh” is Okinawan dialect for shallow water surrounded by coral reef. Check out the creatures, such as starfish and sea cucumbers, that make their home in the shallow lagoon. Gaze through the glass or stare down from above the water. Observe from different angles the creatures living in the shallow water.
The Coral Sea
Large-scale exhibition of various corals
The Coral Sea tank, open at the top, receives strong, direct sunlight. Such extensive cultivation of coral is made possible by utilizing a system that continuously supplies fresh water from the sea right in front of the aquarium. It is quite a sight to see approximately 440 colonies of 80 different kinds of reef-building coral.
