Nice shot.

It shows the size of the pool well.
It might look a little 'empty' but it doesn't look aweful, and in this shot the pool actually looks interesting.
 
They currently hasve two. However, these are both rescues of stranded animals and Taronga has no plans to breed.

This topic has been discussed recently in the "Dugongs at Sydney Aquarium" thread in the Australian discussion forums.
 
are the invertebrates (starfish etc) real/live, or imitation ones attached to the rocks for show?
 
Artificial. I don't think live ones would last too long with animals as curious and playful as seals.

The water is treated which is not good for fish or inverts. You can keep inverts in with seals but it can take a bit of trial and error.
 
And despite having no plans to breed, apparently the female is pregnant.
