The Indian Ocean Mosaic Exhibit in the Indian Ocean Gallery is proving to be very popular with our visitors. The mosaic, which includes both live displays and spectacular photography of tropical scenes by Geoff Spiby, features a wide variety of tiny sea creatures. These include butterflyfish, pufferfish, stonefish, gobies, needle urchins, mantis shrimp, cleaner shrimp and cleaner wrasses. Did you know that the Emperor of Japan is a marine biologist and has dedicated his whole life to studying gobies. In fact, he has a full research laboratory in his palace!

The new ‘pint-sized’ exhibits can be changed quickly so those who visit the Aquarium weekly will always have something new to see!
