A hot new bombshell has entered the villa…the razorfish in the Coral Reef Up-Close exhibit in the TRA!
Thanks in part to generous donors, this gorgeous exhibit opened a few weeks ago. This gives us a rare opportunity to see the coral change, develop, and grow—and also to see the interesting creatures who live among it, like the vertical swimming razorfish! 🪸
