A giant fish tank containing 100,000 litres of seawater, and rising 8 metres, is decorated with 4.5 tons of coral.
Special lights illuminate the tank, replacing the natural sunshine by day and the moonlight at night.
In this giant aquarium are an array of beautiful fish feeding off the coral.
There is also a Sand Shark (Odontaspis Taurus), one of the most feared sea predators after the Great White Shark. The Sand Shark grows to a length of 3.5 metres and can weigh up to 180 kilos.
Two more tanks at Sea World house carpet sharks, rays with poison-carrying spines, 2 metre long moray eels and a variety of other fish.
