Come see brilliantly colored corals that “glow in the dark” and witness corals feeding on plankton. At night, the cleanup crew comes to life. Serpent stars and sea cucumbers emerge from the shadows, and you might even spy a parrotfish sleeping. This exciting and popular tour for ages 6 to adults begins before sunset with pizza on the patio, followed by a brief presentation about the fascinating nightlife in the ocean and what to expect during the event.
