I went to the Newport aquarium just across the river from Cincy today. Here are the best pics taken with my Canon P&S.

Damsels in a reef tank.


Dartfish


Rock Eel?


Sting Ray. Amazing pattern on this guy.


Shark


Spotted Jelly


Moon Jelly?


Nice Clam


Big Nems - My personal fave.


Giant Pacific Octopus - This guy was amazing, very active.

Cool shots, especially those last three.
Makes me want to take a trip to the aquarium..

those "moon jellies" look like comb jellies

The nems are definitely my favs at the aquarium.

The reef tanks, imo, leave much to be desired. When I was there last February, it looks like they had completely redone the big reef tank b/c it was mostly bare rock.

I was really disappointed to see that they got rid of the clown cube, that had like every species of clown in one giant cube with tons of anemones. That used to be my favorite tank. I wonder if they ended up having problems with aggression.

Oh well, nice shots!

Nice sand

Rock Eel?
