Taken from a visit on July 3, 2023. I posted my trip commentary and a review of the zoo here.
Signed but unseen
*Ambassador, No Reliably Viewable Exhibit, Exact Species May Vary
The aquarium has a ton of unsigned species. When I'm reasonably confident in what it is but there was no sign there will be a (?) after the species. When I have no idea whatsoever it'll just be "unsigned [as much as I can tell]." The aquarium's signage was spotty outside of one or two headliners in a tank. Almost everything else was okay. I used the common name the species is signed under. Chats with docents led me to believe that almost everything signed but unseen is still at the zoo. Australian birds were off display after a recent incident. I did not press the docent for details. I did not note coral, sea stars, or anemones unless they were signed. I didn't bother searching for every species in the main saltwater tank so there are no italicized species there, even though there probably should be.
