These peacock wolf eels are celebrating 19 years at the Aquarium today! 🎉 These two have called the Olympic Coast home since December 27, 2006. While they may look like eels, they’re actually fish, with pectoral fins behind their heads to prove it. #HappyAquariumAnniversary

Happy #NationalCandyCaneDay! ❤️🤍 Who says candy canes are just for the holidays? Under the sea, some animals rock classic red-and-white stripes, candy-cane shapes, sweet names, or bold red colors all year long. #BandedCoralShrimp #CandyCaneCoral #PeppermintShrimp
