New Animals in the Seaquarium

We are division 5, and we will be looking after the seaquarium at Vic West Elementary this year.  Yesterday Gillian and Heather from World Fisheries Trust brought new animals for our tank.  We now have these animals in the tank:

California sea cucumber

white sea cucumber

hermit crabs

big and little barnacles

tube worms

a decorator crab

purple volcano sponge

an orange sea star

two pandala shrimp

a tiny green isopod

a shy tidepool sculpin

plumose sea anemones

a red sea urchin and a green/purple sea urchin

three kinds of chitons: black katy, lined and mossy

and a species of nudibranch called a sea lemon.

We might have missed something.  Stay tuned for more information on these animals.  In the meantime, here is a picture of our now crowded tank.
