Coral Reef Cam | Monterey Bay Aquarium, Monterey CA

Dive into a coral reef, live! 🐠

Coral reefs are bustling neighborhoods, and you’ve got a front-row seat. Blue tang dart through the water, brain coral holds its ground, and a giant clam settles in, all inside our 20-foot-long coral reef exhibit. A custom wave machine recreates ocean currents, so the whole reef sways and shimmers just like it would in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled for a bluespotted ribbontail ray gliding over the anemones!

The Coral Reef is part of Ocean in Motion / La Danza del Mar, the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s newest exhibit, where you can play, move, and connect with ocean animals.

This live feed shows a tropical coral reef exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, located at 886 Cannery Row in Monterey, California. The view shows colorful reef fish, such as the yellow and white butterflyfish in this frame, moving among corals and anemones in a tank designed to mimic reef currents. It is worth watching for a close look at reef life and a glimpse of the aquarium's conservation work, and the aquarium's website is montereybayaquarium.org.
