So i went to the local aquarium (seattle aquarium) and saw many creatures. Some HOPEFULLY i can get I.D. and answers to if they are 25g friendly!

Lionfish (it was about 14in long)

THIS TRIP WAS AWSOME!

If anyone cares, we went to a really nice restaurant afterwards and i had french fries covered in gravy and melted mozzarella curds. Apparently its Canadian, oh well its AMAZING! i also had a burger made in Washington (local produce). This restaurant is on top of pikes place and was THE BEST!

I think that it is actually a Sea Moth. Here is an example from LA.
