[ WELCOME TO ORA ]

Oceans, Reefs and Aquariums (ORA) marine ornamental hatchery produces aquacultured saltwater fish, invertebrates and live aquarium foods for the marine aquarium hobby. We are the largest producer and seller of marine ornamentals in the world. The ORA hatchery complex is located at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI) in Ft. Pierce, Florida. ORA is the largest marine ornamental hatchery in North America and we are constantly developing new techniques to bring the finest captive bred specimens to environmentally conscientious aquarists throughout the world.

Aquacultured marine life is the only alternative to wild caught fish and invertebrates for aquariums. ORA farm-raised fish help you avoid the uncertainty of capture, handling, transport, and disease associated with wild caught fish. Our fish are raised in an aquarium environment from the time they are born and therefore are exceedingly hardy as aquarium inhabitants.

ORA sells fish grown to full size and whose color is as vivid as that seen on the reef. Through the use of a special nutritionally balanced diet the color and vitality of ORA fish is unsurpassed in the field of aquaculture. ORA's goal is to provide a full range of aquacultured products that will ultimately lead to the 100% captive raised reef aquarium. This is our commitment to help ensure the future of the hobby as well as conserve the natural reef environment.
