Corallium©
Inaugurated in 2023, the Corallium© offers an innovative educational approach to these important animals. The Corallium© is divided into 3 distinct sections. The first introduces visitors to the various techniques used by scientists to reproduce coral colonies and reintroduce them into the natural environment. The second is a collection of all the coral species present at the Paris Aquarium. Lastly, the third section reveals the phenomenon of fluorescence: an astonishing luminous capacity in corals.
France is home to almost 60,000 km2 of coral reefs, i.e. 10% of the world's surface area.
two million animal species live in coral reefs.
Coral reefs cover less than 0.2% of the ocean's surface. Yet they are one of our planet's most important ecosystems.
