Overhaul, New Exhibit Planned for National Aquarium

A planned $12.5 million coral reef exhibit will be the first step toward a rejuvenated National Aquarium, officials said this week.

The Wings in the Water exhibit, the centerpiece of the Pier 3 Pavilion and a home for rays, sharks and other large fish, will be turned into what officials are calling Blacktip Reef. The replica of an Indo-Pacific Coral Reef — thinkAustralia'sGreat Barrier Reef, though much smaller — it will be home to a school of more than a dozen sharks, plus other creatures that call such habitats home.

An excellent idea , I can't afford a gold fish much less a trip to see this. Good way to spend my tax money when people are starving.
I do know the minority groups will frequent this , they can afford it.
