Gallery 1: Acanthurus – Chaetodon

The Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology on Coconut Island is located in Kane‘ohe Bay on the northeast shore of O‘ahu. Kane‘ohe Bay is a unique environment that houses thousands of different species of tropical marine life. The bay is composed of many different habitats, including patch reefs, mangroves, sandy and muddy bottoms, and “spurs and grooves.”
