Today at the touch tank we found some new additions for the tank off the dock! We found a pretty good sized sea anemone, a new Asian shore crab and a scale worm. We also found that in addition to the first baby sea star, there is actually a second one! This little guy is even smaller than the first. Sea stars lay about 2 million eggs at once, but only a few of those eggs make it to adulthood.
We are still in need of names for the nudibranchs, so come on down! You have till 4pm tomorrow :)
Welcome!
