This time, the crustacean house gets some attention. Bear in mind, the path includes stairs and two floors.
Next up, I'll take some liberties with the shark tunnel.

@JigerofLemuria I don't know if a Crustacean House would be very popular among the visitors.
Maybe you have some concrete examples of such exhibits in zoos or aquaria ?
@Haliaeetus Not really... I was almost tempted to make it a temperate waters aquarium with several types of fish. But in the end, I decided to go with the more unique take the game proposes. I think it came out fine.
