Deepwater or subtropical species are seldomly displayed in Indonesian aquaria due to their nature and their exhibit needs. Most of them are exhibited in climate controlled tanks with dim lighting and a "NO FLASH" sticker. They won't last long like tropical species, but some species like Giant isopod and Pineconefish are pretty resilient and can live longer in captivity. Most of them either die in a matter of months or even days.
During the pandemic, Jakarta Aquarium lost almost all of its deepwater collection, including the octopus and the seadragons. However, some of them survived like the nautilus and the isopod. SeaWorld Ancol also lost their octopus as well prior to their reopening on May 2020.
