@pagrus I dunno, it was part of our orientation haha ‘everybody squish a moon jelly’
-
@skinnylatte When I worked across the street from the Aquarium I went to the jellies exhibit once a week or so at lunch just to stand there and calm down. (I don’t know if the full jellies exhibit is still there or not.)
-
@pagrus we were supposed to describe what it felt like
-
@rednikki there are Black Sea nettles now. Those are my fave. And the deep sea bloody jellies that are so new they don’t have names

@Pineywoozle @curiousrobot I like those
-
@skinnylatte Do you guys have an arch tank for your jellies? We visited the new improved Seattle Aquarium a few weeks ago and you can walk under and through the jelly stream. Very cool.
-
@lhauser no! That sounds so great I’ll have to go
-
We don’t have corn holes. We have coral hole
-
The view on my walk to work when I’m down there
-
Sticking my phone through the holes of a fence. And finding a (I think) Brandt’s cormorant colony
-
Kind of unfair that a random photo out of the railings has birds and otters in it
-
I get to sea the open sea exhibit before we open! A sure way to know we haven’t opened is there are bubbles in the water
-
@skinnylatte why do the bubbles only run when the aquarium is closed?
-
@Champagne no one will be able to see the exhibit if the bubbles are there. They run over night I guess to oxygenate the water and remind the fish that there is a large glass there
The exhibit is supposed to evoke a sense that you are in the middle of the ocean. It’s very majestic
-
@skinnylatte I remember going there in 2004, staying close by, the Aquarium really and truly amazing. And sea otters just hanging out!
