This tank contains a variety of small tropical reef fish. Coral reefs are busy communities where every species plays a role. Some fish graze on algae to keep coral from being overgrown, others hunt small animals to keep populations balanced, and some even clean parasites from their neighbors. Together, these reef residents help maintain a healthy, thriving ecosystem where coral and fish can flourish.
