Oddly enough, the initial featured display was not centered on freshwater, but instead focused on seahorses and other animals which share their ocean reef habitat.
Seahorse
Seahorses often curl their long tails around coral reef and marine plants to hold themselves steady. Sometimes they are difficult to see as they blend with their surroundings. Seahorses are very elegant family and many species are threatened in the wild.
It's a Dragon!
This was my first close experience that I can remember with seadragons. They are members of the seahorse family. Gracefully moving through the water, they may look like dragons but the small creatures do not inspire any of the fear associated with the powerful mythical beasts.
The Seahorse Exhibit was a great start to the aquarium, and upon leaving, we were now ready to begin the River Journey.
