Chambered Nautilus
"The Nautilus exhibit contains animals that have descended relatively unchanged from ancestors millions of years ago. During daylight hours these elusive creatures inhabit the deep dark depths of the reef drop-off at around 1,000 feet (about 300 meters). At night they ascend to about 200 feet (66 meters) to possibly feed and to deposit eggs that the female carries. There is much that is still unknown about these secretive creatures." - http://www.waquarium.org/jet-set.asp

Coral Polyps
Don't you just LOVE aquariums? Lots of things to look at under crazy lighting. This exhibit even had a magnifying glass to see the individual polyps. What more could you ask for?
