Immerse yourself in Dangerous Lagoon, our breathtaking underwater gallery, and come face to face with some of the Aquarium’s most jaw-dropping species.
Hop onto our moving sidewalk and get up close and personal with a wide array of sharks while keeping your eyes peeled for our two resident green sea turtles, Queensland grouper, and other species of fish and invertebrates who call this exhibit home.
Green sea turtles are among the largest of the seven species of sea turtle. They can cross entire oceans on annual migrations of 2,000 kilometres or more. Be sure to stay on high alert while exploring Dangerous Lagoon as many guests have a hard time spotting our mysterious green sea turtles!
The grey angelfish is a curious and brave fish, common among coral reefs and found throughout tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. It is common to see these fish in pairs as well as schools. They primarily feed on sponges and a variety of algae and invertebrates.
Green moray eels are solitary creatures that hide in rocky crevices during the day, emerging at night to hunt. Powerful predators growing up to 2.5 metres long, they are actually a blue-grey colour but are covered in a layer of yellow mucus that protects them from parasites and gives them their green tint.
