It was a SUPER busy day at the touch tank! Between the conference people and all of you that just came to see our beautiful faces... oh and the touch tank haha :) we barely had a breath! But when we did have a breath we spent it looking up more info on our new additions to the tank, the nudibranchs. These guys are a type of sea slug that have little frills that come off their back that are used kind of as gills. We also found that they not only feed on stinger organisms like hydroids and anemone, but they can actually use their sting-y food to their own advantage by becoming sting-y as well!
Tomorrow we are drawing the name for our Lobster! So drum roll for our next post!
