About This Camera

The Blacktip Reef habitat at the National Aquarium in Baltimore recreates an Indo-Pacific reef community with blacktip reef sharks, a green sea turtle named Calypso, hundreds of tropical fish, and live coral.

Coral Reef Community

Anthozoa

Coral reefs are dense underwater communities built by colonies of stony corals and inhabited by an extraordinary diversity of fish, invertebrates, and microbial life. Considered the rainforests of the sea, reefs support 25% of marine biodiversity despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor.
