Quick Shot From Hawaii

I see a mangrove pod floating the water. If that was me, I'd be collecting pods off the beach and taking them home with me. Mangroves are considered an invasive species in Hawaii - so I'm sure no one would care if you took some pods home with you

at the aquarium they have a whole tank full of mangroves. 6-10 feet tall.

I know, I love how they made it so it looks like a terrarium/reef tank. Although, I don't know if it's just me, but some of the reef tanks at the Waikiki Aquarium seemed a little sub-par considering it's Waikiki Aquarium. I was a little bit disappointed that they didn't have a nicer assortment of corals. I mean if you go to Molokini Crater on Maui, the colours and assortment of SPS corals you see in the wild is amazing. I would have thought they would recreate a Molokini style aquascape. But never the less it's still an awesome place to visit. I really enjoyed the clams they have in the outdoor tank. Not sure what kind they were, but the colouration was pretty sweet.
