Weighing our lizards is very important to make sure they are healthy! The aquarists use a rope net hanging from some scales that the lizards are trained to jump onto and grip when they see it. #bluereefnewquay #bluereefaquariumnewquay #visitnewquay #thingstodoincornwall

Lumpsuckers! These weird and wonderful fish are true to their name, they have a suction cup on the underside of their body which allows them to anchor themselves to their surroundings! #bluereefaquariumnewquay #bluereefnewquay #visitnewquay #thingstodoincornwall

The Bull huss shark loves to sit amongst the seaweed! #bluereefaquariumnewquay #bluereefnewquay #newquay #visitnewquay

The Zebra Moray eels can often be hard to find even with their stripes! They don’t have the best eye sight so prefer to hide in the shadows. #bluereefaquariumnewquay #bluereefnewquay #visitnewquay #thingstodoincornwall

The dragon wrasse has been busy! Also known as a rock mover wrasse, this species spends all day moving coral rubble and rocks to find food underneath. They create neat piles of the rubble they’ve already cleaned under to make sure they repeat the process on the same pieces!

Our Beach Cabin will be open from the weekend! If you are a dog walker or a New Years day dipper pop in for a hot drink to warm up! The Cabin is separate to the Aquarium and is located on the side of the building☕️

Hannah and Owen have been making sure all the animals are having a magical Christmas day. Merry Christmas from all of us at Blue Reef Aquarium Newquay🎄🎄 #bluereefaquariumnewquay #bluereefnewquay #christmas2023
