The inhabitants all ranging in size, include Cownose Rays, Lookdowns, Permit, Gagg Grouper, Black Drum, Gray Snapper, Blue Runners just to name a few along with a Loggerhead Sea Turtle. Ocean Oddities: In this series of aquaria are some of the interesting, and unusual, organisms from oceans around the world. Moray Eels: In this tank you can view moray eels which come is a range of sizes, colors, and patterns. Live Coral Tank: This exhibit contains a mixture of stony and soft corals native to both the Caribbean and Indo-Pacific. The Reef Predator exhibit displays many of the predatory fish associated with coral and offshore reefs. Many of these fish would naturally prey on the smaller reef fish species displayed in the other exhibits. Puffers, wrasses and trigger and a grouper all call this tank home. Tropical Shark Touch Tank: Get up close and personal with sharks! In our Tropical Shark Touch Tank you have the opportunity to touch Whitespotted Bamboo Sharks, Marbled Sharks and Epaulette Sharks. These species of sharks are found mostly in the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean. Moon Jellies: Jellyfish are commonly known to be a potentially hazardous animal, with their capability to inflict painful stings. Clownfish and Anemone Tank: This tank is home to different species of clownfish including Ocellaris (like in Finding Nemo), Clarkii, Maroon, and Tomato clownfish. Sharing the tank with the clownfish are Long Tentacle and Bubble Tip Anemones. Mid-Atlantic Coastal Zone: The Intertidal Zone is an area of the shore that is alternately submerged and exposed by tides, basically where the land and sea meet. In this interactive exhibit visitors are encourage to touch a variety of local intertidal organisms. Here you can also find horseshoe crabs, sea urchins, and whelks to name a few. Diamondback Terrapin Territory: Typical of the local estuarine environment, the water in this tank is brackish, meaning that it is a mix of fresh and salt water. Fish such as Perch and Killifish are able to live in both, as does the Diamondback Terrapin. Stingray Touch Tank: In this interactive exhibit you have the opportunity to see and touch some of our juvenile Cownose stingrays. ------------------------- From May through October departing from Historic Gardner’s Basin, Atlantic City Cruises offer daily sightseeing adventures in the waters around Atlantic City.
