Atlantic Coral Reef/Shark Alley walkways

The coral reef is several floors tall, the top being at the exit from the rain forest, and wraps completely around you. Under it is Shark Alley, which does the same thing.

Thanks very much for posting such a detailed species list! This exhibit, while seemingly obscured by walkways, is fantastic and gives visitors an overview of a large tank at several different depths.
 
@snowleopard You're welcome! I'm sure there's probably more fish, given even a shark wasn't on the signage, but I think they do a fairly good job covering the majority of them. The exhibit can be a pain if you're looking for a particular species, or looking to identify one (the signs are spread out over the several floors), but it's a very nice exhibit otherwise. I was told they updated all of the species signs in the aquarium about a year and a half ago.
