Hi everyone! Just wanted to share some pics and videos of my recent trip to The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA.

First for the videos:
These are Giant Flashlight fish, you'll see why they're called that when you watch the video.

The large Blue Cavern Exhibit. Sorry for the weird music, it's loud there and this is less distracting.

Shark eggs nearly ready to hatch from a GREAT tour guide. If you ever visit I really recommend paying extra for the behind the scenes tour.

Copperband, sadly it seemed like most, if not all, of their hard coral was gone or on it's way out :(
