Since its opening 40 years ago, The Living Seas Pavilion has long been a favorite of many fans due to its large aquarium and wide array of sea life. Even with the mid-2000s addition of Turtle Talk with Crush and overall retheme to The Seas with Nemo and Friends, much of the pavilion has barely changed since 1986.

However, recently something NEW just debuted at The Seas with Nemo and Friends that’s changing how many guests spend their time at the pavilion, and this brings about a new rule you MUST follow.

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

EPCOT just introduced a new species of fish to its 5.7 m aquarium! The Napoleon Wrasse, a fish that the EPCOT aquarium has never had before, is indigenous to the Indo-Pacific area. A male Napoleon Wrasse can reach 90 inches long and 421 pounds.

Also known as a Humphead Wrasse due to the hump on the foreheads of adults of the species, they are endangered and are now protected in many countries. The Seas’ newest resident is named Toa after the Maori word meaning “warrior” or “victor.”

This new addition to The Living Seas provides a new reason to engage in one of our favorite pastimes at the pavilion: Taking some time to watch the animals swimming in the aquarium, while taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature… and air conditioning! Seriously, on a hot and busy day at the park, there are few things more centering than cooling down and observing the thousands of creatures that call the aquarium home.
