Have you seen them? Our giant Pacific octopus exhibit now includes what may be the largest collection of deep-sea rockfish ever on exhibit, from right here in the bay. This includes chili pepper, halfbanded (shown), short belly and pygmy rockfish. It’s a trick to safely exhibit these fish, which can be found at depths of 300 feet.

This silver spotted sculpin (Blepsias cirrhosus) loves hiding in our Seaweed Gardens. Can you find him? What’s your favorite example of camouflage at the Aquarium?
Can you find him? This mysterious longfin sculpin hides in our “lookdown” tank, waiting to be found with the aid of our huge magnifier!
Ever seen our largest giant sea bass hanging out in his traditional spot near the wharf pilings? He’s a visitor favorite! What’s yours?

Have you seen this giant kelpfish in our Splash Zone? He’s got serious domestic duties guarding those eggs and keeping other fish at bay!
Feeling tentative today? Maybe it’s time to come out of hiding like this mosshead warbonnet. Happy #Friday and have a great weekend!
