As a part of their sea otter surrogacy program, some experienced mother's move behind the scenes to take care of abandoned pups
I know that Rosa was moved off display because she went through a "crab phase" where she ate mostly crab, and the aquarium didn't want crab shells scratching the tank walls

Does anyone have an estimate of how many gallons the aquariums kelp forest tank holds?

That is bizarre. I searched this up some time ago and it didn't come up right away like this. Regardless, thank you.

Surprised this was not mentioned but the sea otter Abby retiring from the surrogacy program, has been sent back to Seaworld San diego. This was her first home after being rescued.

YES!
MBA has had mola mola on and off for years?
There is often at least one in the open ocean tank since it opened in 1996.
I think you misinterpreted the point of my comment. I was confused by Ebirah's excitement when MBA has regularly had the species for years, it's not an unknown or first occurrence. I've seen molas there myself on several visits.
Mola molas are only sporadically displayed at Monterey Bay, as they often times release them back to the wild.
I am well aware of this, yes. Was there a particular reason for your earlier excitement?
I just like to see the mola-molas
I'm confused, I thought you haven't been to MBA? Or are you talking about the Open Ocean cam?
