Details
Titus was brought to Clearwater Marine Aquarium from Titusville, FL on January 14, 2002. She had an old propeller injury, a few small treatable Fibropapilloma tumors, and a buoyancy disorder because of the injury to her shell. Titus had her tumors surgically removed. Once it was determined that Titus would not be a candidate for release due to her inability to remain submerged, she was returned to Clearwater Marine Aquarium to become a permanent member of our sea turtle family. Titus eats various greens and is often seen submerging herself under rocks and ledges in her habitat to take naps.
