Reef Lagoon Cam FAQs

What do the rays and bony fishes eat?

The rays eat clam tongue, prawns, squid, white bait, live Manila clams, and capelin.

The bony fishes eat krill, gel food, and pellets.

Why don’t I hear anything?

At present, there is no microphone in the water or attached to presenters when they feed the fish.

Why is it dark?

The fish may be sleeping. We dim and brighten our lights according to a schedule that best matches their natural habit. That may not correspond to the time zone where you are.

I’m seeing vertical color bars. Is the camera not working?

There are occasions when the live webstream is disrupted. If you see a problem with our webcam, please email us at webcams@calacademy.org.

The webcam doesn’t work on my computer. What should I do?

Try visiting the Academy’s Reef Lagoon Webcam on YouTube, or, if you have Apple TV, download the Academy's Stingrays Live app.
