Europe's largest coral exhibition

Tropical Seas

Take a peek into the tropics

Coral reefs are intricate ecosystems that support countless marine species. At Palma Aquarium, you can explore representations of the world’s largest tropical oceanic ecosystems—the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans.

Home to over 70 different species, the aquarium of the Balearic Islands houses Europe’s largest collection of living corals. Remarkably, many of these coral specimens were born right within the aquarium. Given the challenges of coral reproduction—especially within a controlled environment—this is truly exceptional.

Life and color

The bustling activity in coral reefs is like the rhythm of a big city, forming an ecosystem where each species plays a unique role to maintain balance.

In this part of the tour, you’ll find vibrant representations of the tropical ecosystems of the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans. Here, everything bursts with color as corals seem to compete in a vivid display of turquoise blue, canary yellow, fiery red, and bright orange. These colors can be seen in species such as surgeonfish, clownfish, pufferfish, and anemones—close relatives of corals.

From the fascinating lives of corals to the playful antics of clownfish, let our ocean experts guide you through their captivating stories.
