A Real Parent's Story
My daughter the marine biologist for a day
“She carefully transplanted a piece of coral onto the frame and announced her career change on the spot.”

The Coralarium was the highlight of our Maldives trip. My 8-year-old joined the coral restoration program with the resident marine biologist. She named her coral Sparkle and still asks to see photos of it. The underwater chamber is magical.
