Honolulu Aquarium


We spent one Saturday marveling at the coral and fish in the Honolulu Aquarium. Some of the pictures are interesting so I thought I'd share a few.
There is a giant several hundred pound clam in this picture. Can you see it?
I thought these fish were pretty crazy looking.
Most aquariums don't have this animal- the chambered Nautilus.
While at a cove a few months ago a monk seal swam up to the beach. They are protected and you are not supposed to get within several hundred feet of them. Life guards had everyone clear the water. It was nice to be able to see it up close. 
The best part about this aquarium were the different types of coral and clams they cultivate here
