Busan Aquarium

Our first day in Busan was a rainy one so we checked out the aquarium. It was smaller than other aquariums we've been to but still had interesting species to see. Somehow I forgot to take notes so am not sure what a lot of these creatures are called. :)

These eels were really active weaving in the coral.


This fish was huge (3-4 feet long) and stayed in one spot the whole time we saw it.

They had a number of jellyfish displays from large to tiny, to the Upside Down Jellyfish which I've never seen before.

Cassiopea (Upside Down Jellyfish)


These ones were a cute little size that were fun to watch float around.
 


Teeny tiny jellyfish


Sea Cucumber


Loved the teeth on this fish!


All of the displays were pretty standard throughout the aquarium. Except for the seahorse display...clearly they are a musical species (???).




Mola Mola, which can be as wide as it is tall

The school of fish under the shark kept pace really well, always staying hidden under his belly.


Underwater Tunnel
At the end of the line Mike found a display with a head hole. Awesome!
