OdySea Aquarium OdySea: New Developments

My goodness, there was a lot of construction at Odysea on Tuesday, especially on the bottom floor.
The orange lobster is currently held in the former octopus tank, and Tonks is being held in the former Isopod tank (which was covered with a tarp…).
I think sea nettles are being added near the moon jellies and clownfish?
All the arthropod terrariums by the archerfish tank were empty, and there was construction nearby.
There’s a newer, tinier group of alligators!
I think there’s a couple of yellow-spotted Amazon river turtles in the turtle tank at the aquarium’s start. They weren’t signed (although several other species that I didn’t see were).

Great to hear, I will have to make it a priority to stop by there late this year.
