Ohh.. I hope they'll move the octopus to the renovated tank, the crab to the octopus' former tank and the smaller tank for the sea dragons when they come (still waiting SWA)
Anything else in the wetlands exhibit?

They require an apt exhibit...! But given the putting on display of weedy seadragons and other iconic coral reef fish species ... I would stall this for now. I wonder if anyone knows where they are held off-exhibit and how many they actually do hold/maintain?

Nothing new. The other turtles are still there, the other tank is a horrendous mix of completely random fishes.
The crabs? I'm only aware that they acquired one new individual, they could probably acquired more but are off-display. They used to have three larger spider crabs before COVID-19.
I remember the original three from 2017. Sadly they perished in 2020 or so.
I hope the tiger shovelnoses move to the Arapaima tank once they grow larger, the archerfish moving to the Rainforest tank and the parrot cichlids getting phased out.

Is this at the turtle exhibit? Also, where is the seadragon tank located at?

Well, it is a 'turtle exhibit' now. On a serious note, the snapping turtle is in the what used to be the horseshoe crab & milkfish exhibit.
There are no seadragon yesterday, I can't guess where they at when they're not even there yet.

WHAT?! The mangrove exhibit is now a snapping turtle exhibit? I can’t believe that! Too bad the mangrove exhibit is now a snapping turtle exhibit. SWA should’ve moved their archerfish from the former aligator gar/otter exhibit to the mangrove exhibit. SWA could also re-acquired horseshoe crab and mudskippers for their mangrove exhibit and add other mangrove fishes such as moonyfishes and spotted scats for their mangrove exhibit. The fact SWA convert their mangrove exhibit into a snapping turtle exhibit is just ridiculous and of course a waste of exhibit for sure.

Well well well, looks like SWA canceled their plan to acquire seadragons knowing that seadragons are hard to be kept.
Bruh, JAQS had their weedy seadragons for 5+ years

Oh, looks like there’s another reason why SWA canceled their plan to acquire seadragons. But I’m wishing the current GPO exihibit houses seadragons and the GPO got moved to it’s original exhibit that’s currently under renovation.
I wish the humphead wrasses got moved into the main tank cause it would outgrow in it’s tank. I’m also wishing some of the giant morays (gymnothorax javanicus) also got moved into the main tank cause it could grow largely in the main tank.

A common staple in Indonesian aquaria nowadays. Hopefully they're housed in the tunnel tank.

It certainly is, they're present in all but one aquaria in Java. Especially since they acquired the zebra sharks, it's very likely that they both came from the same sourcer, where wild-caught aetobatus ocellatus are often sold from.
I have a feeling it might be JB Aquatic, they have an extensive ray collection and supplied for major aquarias in Indonesia such as BXSea, SWA, JAQS and Bali Marine
A look at the renovated humphead wrasse tank. This would've looked better for the Giant Pacific Octopus NGL. But looking at the top of the tank, it might not be a good idea since it may escape from the tank.

Looks very ugly in my opinion with the white stones below and the very heavy lighting, but it's probably because of the bad graphic of that screenshot.
Not to mention the small space given to the wrasse.
I kinda wish that they'll move the humphead wrasses to the main tank or the sea turtle/zebra shark tank one day
A better look of the new humphead wrasse tank. This could've been better a better exhibit for the octopus though.

SWA is so messed up rn, the old exhibit looks better IMO.

The old exhibit looked more immersive and natural, this one has too much paint
