The new england aquarium just opened a new coral reef tank. It looks absolutely incredible. The reef is set to mimic an indo-pacific coral reef. It holds 9000 gallons of water and spans from the floor to the ceiling. Coral reefs have always been fascinating to me because of how diverse and colorful they are. I have been snorkeling over a reef once and was scared the entire time. I am scared very easily in the water, I just feel like I am too far out of my element. Anything that is in the water can move easily in it, except for things that don’t belong there, like me. I love how beautiful the ocean is and how unique all of the creatures that inhabit it are. The ocean is just too big of a jump for me to make, just knowing how easy it would be for anything in the ocean to cause harm to me. On a separate note I really want to see the coral reef at the aquarium. First because I doubt I will ever be able to a reef of this nature in real, and secondly because even if I did like swimming in the ocean reefs like these may be gone by the time I have the means to visit one.
