Do you know what a reef aquarium is? It’s an aquarium that emulates an underwater coral reef ecosystem, containing live corals and other sea animals that thrive in a coral reef environment.
A reef aquarium contains an amazing diversity of color and texture. These animals are sometimes called live rocks. They bring the mystery and spectacle of an undersea garden to homes, offices and shopping centers all over the world.
Have you ever seen the giant aquarium at the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas? Go deep into the mall past the Red Piano gift shop, past the Coliseum where Elton John, Celine Dion, Bette Midler and Cher perform. Keep going, past the slot machines, the blackjack tables and the poker room.
Deep under the ground, where the interior lights grow dim, you will start to notice a spectacular, enormous aquarium. Thousands of colorful fish draw the eye. And if you look very carefully on the floor of the aquarium, or perhaps climbing on one of the rocks or walls, you will see the aquarium snails, working their way through the environment, cleaning up dead plants and animals as they go.

The Epaulette Shark
The Epaulette shark is usually a white shark with brown spots all over their bodies. They are the most ideal small aquarium sharks because they prefer to live in confined spaces. They do not swim around the tank like most other sharks. They simply swim around the tank floor all day looking for food. They are very slender and may resemble an eel at times. Their slender bodies allow them to slip around rocks and other aquarium decorations.
