Adrianna TanI’m obsessed with the egg yolk jellies
My wife is in town (very rare!) so we took a nice evening stroll from the aquarium to the Sandbar
Bloody-belly comb jelly. Can’t believe I get to see this at work

Black necked stilts at our onsite aviary (which rehabilitates and releases injured birds, and keeps those who can’t be released)
I love this pic I took of the avocet this morning. I went to the aviary this morning before we opened and I had the whole place to myself
I don’t know if you know how big this tank is

My evening commute (I waited till closing time and for all guests to leave, then I went to hang out at the open sea exhibit by myself)
Hopper The Cocker
Sent my wife this (the joke is, I am kind of face blind and I can’t find her especially at airports)
The California sheepshead can change gender. It also sleeps in a cocoon made of mucus, for protection.
I feel like I’m going to spend the wrasse of my life being jealous of it. (It is actually a wrasse)
I’m in a conference room. I looked out of a window (because lots of people were). Someone says ‘they get all my seals of approval’
You can’t tell, but this guy is swimming, burping and yelling and probably farting all at the same time. Impressive work.
I just love hanging out with them. Honestly I’d rather listen to sea lions barking than some politicians. Or internet sea lions
“A tube anemone has a built in escape route. A tube anemone can disappear into its home in the blink of an eye. Its tube can be two feet long and serves as a quick escape route and an anchor in the constantly shifting sand.“
Cool, but can anemone hear me?
No matter how busy I am, I always make it a point to spend a lot of time walking through the main aquarium when I am here
Dane Deasy@skinnylatte it must be calming
schrotthaufen@skinnylatte I wouldn’t get any work done. Ever.
Dave Alvarado@skinnylatte I really want to see that aquarium. My wife says I need to see SF if we head to the bay area. I'm not sure how to convince her that I don't care about cities, I want to see fish, obnoxiously wealthy people, and the wine country.
rednikki@skinnylatte Best time is January when you will have it to yourself!
ADHDean@skinnylatte *hands you your Dad Card* Welcome to the club.

Micah@skinnylatte How do you know I can't tell? Maybe I can tell!
My camera shoots fascistsI've seen seals flopped in the sand like this before and every time I think they're dead at first. Nope, just super chillin'.
Jeff Miller (orange hatband)@skinnylatte Today is the first day of the wrasse of your life, as the self-improvement affirmation used to go.
kf@skinnylatte fish is also pink, blue, and white because it is canonically trans
Zyhlaari@skinnylatte Misidentification? Ottrageous!
cetan@skinnylatte so hydrophobic!
Scott Francis@skinnylatte Your workplace never ceases to deliver the delights
David Griffith@skinnylatte You have puffins? *books flight*
@theplaguedoc we have a few rescues at the aquarium. they’re super cute. It’s also pelagic birding season and I’m going on trips to the Farallon islands nearby. have seen puffins in the water often
@skinnylatte Puffin Butts!

Andrew Lewis Workshop@skinnylatte yes, but at some point you're going to have to admit that the canoe has actually sunk. One does not simply observe the underside of a puffin.
