台湾彭顿的国家海洋生物学博物馆充满了许多出色的珊瑚礁科学和一些令人难以置信的盐水水族馆。其中之一必须列为我见过的最令人印象深刻的软珊瑚陈列之一！
Filled with many huge colonies of a wide variety ofSinularia和Sarcophytonspecies, this aquarium has grown some soft coral specimens that rival many of their wild counterparts. Sure in some reefs you might see these corals growing as large or in some rare cases larger, despite being very mature sizes there’s no doubt these are oldaquariumcorals.
The half-cylinder soft coral tank holds about 1,500 gallons or 5000 liters in the display and is between four and five feet deep. They might be as colorful and captivating as a field of brilliant SPS and LPS corals, these various soft corals do display a range of appearances unique for their species.
Furthermore while most public aquariums tend to overstock their tanks, especially the coral displays, with an unnatural population of fish, the restrained fish load in this tank made for a very serene appeal. No one prepared me for this exquisite display of soft corals and since these species are not as well represented in the recreational aquarium hobby, seeing them arranged into this unique aquascape was quite a unique experience.
如果您在台湾南部国家海洋生物学博物馆as this is one reef tank you won’t want to miss!
