Marine Life in the Rainbow Reef
Never snorkeled but have always wondered what it is like to marvel at marine life up-close? The Rainbow Reef at the Marine Life Park (MLP)’s Adventure Cove Waterpark gives you that opportunity. You no longer need to travel to neighbouring countries like Thailand or Indonesia to snorkel to enjoy intimate encounters with over 100 species of marine animals in their psychedelic coral reef home.
We highlight four eye-catching species that are vibrantly colourful. Keep your eyes peeled though, because they have camouflaging abilities that make it a challenge to spot them!
Take a Dive!
Have you ever dived into the depths of the ocean? Immersing yourself in the deep blue gives you the opportunity to explore the vast and enthralling marine world, swimming amongst countless marine life and habitats. Most people dive for recreation, driven by passion for the marine environment. Ever wanted to make this a career?
Meet Our New Residents at the Shipwreck Habitat – S.E.A. Aquarium!
It’s always exciting to welcome new friends. Some 100,000 marine animals from over 800 species will be calling the Marine Life Park (MLP) their new home – a unique environment for guests to get up close and personal with our marine residents.
What are some of the unique habits of these marine ambassadors? Here are some interesting facts about the animals that have already settled comfortably into their new home at S.E.A. Aquarium’s Shipwreck Habitat!
Golden Trevally
Golden Trevallies
Golden trevally form large schools which follow bigger fishes like groupers and sharks and occasionally sea jellies. These larger ‘hosts’ offer them protection against dangerous predators. Often sourced as fish food, golden trevally do not give up without a fight when cornered – these fish are known for their fast runs.
Did you know?
Golden trevally are strikingly and beautifully coloured with bright yellow fins and black stripes – you’ll agree when you see them at the aquarium! These stripes and colour combination confuse would-be predators that try to single out individuals swimming in a school.
