List correct as of 31st March 2025. Includes all seen and signed species in the main Tokyo Sea Life Park building - the external freshwater displays are not included as I did not see them. (signed) means a species was signed but I didn't look for it in the tank/ignored it/did not distinguish it from similar species in the same tank (and thus cannot confidently say that I saw it), mostly applicable to corals, algae and plants. (signed, not seen) means I did unsuccessfully look for the species. If a species is signed erroneously, as an unaccepted synonym, or is mispelled (all potentially causing confusion for the species lister), this will be noted in brackets. Common names shown here are not necessarily the same shown on signage, so please defer to scientific names in this situation. Species without a commonly-used English name will use the Japanese name, or a generic name (eg. Sea Star, Hermit Crab, Limpet, Sea Anemone).
