Krakatoa's 1883 eruption was so enormous that it nearly destroyed the island, leaving behind a ring of tiny islands and a seawater filled caldera. The volcanic vent has been somewhat active in recent years, however, leading to the formation of a tiny island in the middle of the caldera known as Anak Krakatau that is constantly being built up and eroded. The current Anak Krakatau is the fourth one to have broken the surface, and is still a matter of concern to vulcanologists and the Vulcanological Survey of Indonesia.

Is Krakatoa and Anak Krakatoa the same volcano?

Krakatoa and Anak Krakatoa are not the same volcano. Krakatoa refers to the volcanic island that existed before its massive eruption in 1883, leading to the collapse of the island. Anak Krakatoa, meaning "Child of Krakatoa," is a new volcanic island that has emerged from the sea in the same location and is actively growing as a result of volcanic activity.
