ohh, very very nice. I love the Octo! I have never seen her out (although I did have the honor to shake hands with one while SCUBA diving locally a month or so ago).

Very nice shots. Plenty to be proud of there!

nice camera skills! if it weren't for that stupid lady in the background of the octo pic... well at least you found her out. It's frustrating telling visitors that there really is an octo in there... she's just really good at hiding. Fantastic emerald tree boa pic too; my fave snake at the aquarium.

There are a lot of tropical reefs with a lot less colour than the west-coast has. It is too bad that keeping cold-water is so much more complex than warm water.

Matt, cold water tanks are actually generally simpler to maintain if you do it right and often MUCH cheaper than a SPS tank. The problem is livestock. not many people have cold tanks so suppliers dont collect for them, and because suppliers don't have cold livestock, hobbyists cant set up a cold tank... it's a vicious circle. but there are a few ways out of it.

vaporize, there are H. reidi sea horses, bred at the aquarium. There are also ribbon sea dragons (technically a pipefish); both captive bred and the originals from another public aquarium (I want to say Boston?)
