What are the new species in the Tropical getaway exhibition?

The reopening of Nausicaá after four weeks of renovation work is an opportunity to take a closer look at the aquariums and discover new species.

This year is no exception to tradition, with new species appearing in the Tropical getaway exhibition.

C’est du côté du platier, la partie plate et peu profonde du récif que vous pourrez découvrir notamment le baliste à bordures dorées ou encore le poisson-papillon à selle noire. Ceux-ci rejoignent les requins marcheurs et les limules, qui demandent une observation attentive pour les repérer dans les rochers ou le substrat du platier.

It is on the flat, shallow part of the reef that you can discover the gilded triggerfish and the saddle butterflyfish. These join the epaulette sharks and American horseshoe crabs, which require careful observation to spot among the rocks or substrate of the reef.

In the pass, barhead spinefoot join blacktip reef sharks. Collector urchins add a prickly touch!

Other species have joined the aquariums in the Action Corail area. A new structure created by Corail Résilience has just been installed in the central tank of the area. It houses coral cuttings that have grown in Nausicaá's reserves. This test immersion in our tanks will continue in the natural environment in Colombia in a few months' time. You can support this expedition with your donations. 

A new species is also making an appearance: the warty frogfish. This small fish will be easy to spot, with its rather round body and its way of moving by leaning on its fins rather than swimming.

In the aquariums of the Action Corail area, picturesque dragonets make their appearance, as beautifully coloured as the mandarinfish. They live alongside pom-pom crabs because of the small anemones they hold in their claws.
