Jellyfish At The Monterey Bay Aquarium

[denis coghlan]

As my Christmas present I was taken to the Monterey aquarium for a weekend. I have been too bigger aquariums but never one of this standard. The level of educational material at each display was very impressive and all of the inhabitants were in immaculate condition. I have stacks of photos, so I will stagger them so as to not overload the server and your level of interest.


Black Sea Nettle

Compass Jellyfish

Very nice pics. They look like they could be from PFK magazine - or the website at least.

Went there myself recently, cant deny, i was pritty chuffed to see all the fish that are so commonly kept in the wrong tanks, in huge display tanks Like a group of 6 RTC kept with around 15 pacu very nice.
