    Thanks guys. The cool thing that happened while we were there was their skunk clowns spawned. It was one of the first tanks we saw and I noticed that they were actively cleaning the rocks and the female was very gravid. We went back later in the day to check on them and saw all of the eggs covering the rock. Funny thing was, there was a tour with little kids going by and I pointed it out to the tour guide, who proceeded to ask where the "Nemo eggs" were, they had a pair of percs in the tank as well and he presumed since I said clown that I was talking about them. He had this very confused look on his face as I was trying to get him to look at the skunk clowns in the anemone and not the "Nemos" swimming in the back.

    I bet that was neat to see behind the scenes of a place like that.

    Great pics.

    Yeah, it was awesome. They had quite a few "Reserve" tanks that housed fish that weren't visible to the public that we got to see. Plus we also got to see a necropsy being performed which he said was rare for a tour to get to see.

    Yeah, definitely go. As a heads up, if you decide to spend the extra for the behind the scenes tour, you can skip the entire line to get in and go straight to the guest services office and buy your tickets there, but go early in the day.
