Aquarium by Naomi

Yes, but it has been a while. What impressed me the most was the hands on exhibit for sea anemone and starfish. It gave a great sense of how living sea organism adapt to tidal water and prey. 

I thought it was cool to find out when I touched the red anemone it was different from the green anemone. Each had a different response when touching their tentacle. Despite both belonging to the same Animalia, Cnidaria, the green anemone had a better suction and stuck to my hand. I believe the green anemone has better characteristics for catching prey due to the living condition they have. This allows the green anemone to catch prey easier in benthic to low and mid intertidal zone.

I also liked the Brittle Star. It is a miniature size of starfish and moves arms quite bit. Some were hiding in the rock but not completely and arms were sticking out from every hole. It was funny to watch.

I would like to know more about Brittle Star. It is my favorite so far out of the entire sea organism at the Seattle Aquarium.
