Look here to SEA a Lookdown! 🐟This fish received its name from the way it appears to be ‘looking down’ as it swims. Have you spotted one of these disk like creatures before? #FeaturedFishFriday

One of our green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) "Spot" being cleaned by her posse of Porkfish. In the wild, sea turtles often use reef communities as 'cleaning stations'. 🐢🚿 Check out our most recent Instagram post for more info about this! #FeaturedFishFriday

While spending most of its life on the reef, the yellow boxfish will eat small invertebrates, crustaceans, and sponges, when it's not grazing algae. It will also use its puckered lips to blow water on coral and sand to find any prey that's hiding. #FeaturedFishFriday #boxfish

Starfish can consume prey in a very peculiar way. 🤔 The starfish will use its tiny tube feet to pry open oysters and clams, while the stomach emerges from the mouth and oozes into the shell. The stomach surrounds the prey to digest the prey & then retracts. #FeaturedFishFriday

Spotted eagle rays are very smart and curious creatures which makes them very popular with divers and snorkelers. They aren't so popular with boat owners as they have been known to jump out of the water and land right inside the vessel! ⛵ #FeaturedFishFriday

While the pectoral fins attract smaller prey, some of the same features are used to keep predators such as eel, larger fish, and humans away. The lionfish🦁🐟 is a diurnal and ambush predator which means it hunts during the day with the element of surprise. #FeaturedfishFriday

The eyesight 👀 on an archerfish 🎯🐟 is just as incredible as their ability to shoot water at their prey. The archerfish will calculate there aim based on the refraction of light that takes place where the air and water meet. #FeaturedFishFriday

Commonly mistaken for swordfish, sawfish are elasmobranchs meaning their skeleton is made of cartilage (like our ears and nose). Our female green sawfish is our largest animal at the Aquarium, weighing in at over 400 pounds over 14 feet long from end to end! #FeaturedFishFriday

The red-bellied piranha is considered a dangerous and aggressive species. While this may be true, they are also a very systematic and organized species. While feeding each fish will take a bite and move out of the way to make sure others can eat as well. #FeaturedFishFriday

The stonefish relies primarily on their camouflage skills to catch prey since they are such slow swimmers. Despite their slow movement, they have been known to catch and swallow their prey in as little time as 0.015 seconds! #FeaturedFishFriday

As #cuffingseason approaches, here's a wholesome reminder that most seahorses are monogamous and some even mate for life. By remaining faithful to one mate, the pair have more time to undergo pregnancies during the mating season. #FeaturedFishFriday

While drifting in the ocean, Pacific sea nettles will use their tentacles as a net to catch prey. ♨️ Once the prey is paralyzed from the jelly sting, the special oral arms will begin to digest it before it even reaches the mouth. #FeaturedFishFriday

Green sea turtles graze and maintain seagrass beds to provide homes & nutrients for other organisms. 🌊🐢 Due to habitat loss and fisheries bycatch turtles are endangered and it's directly affecting the decline of ocean health. The need for change is now! #FeaturedFishFriday

Alwives 🐟 entered the Great Lakes through the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Welland Canal. The species reproduced at such an accelerated rate that they created more competition for the local fish to find food. #FeaturedFishFriday

Did you know that the wolf eel isn't actually an eel, but instead it's part of the Anarhichadidae family? This family is full of wolf FISH! Confusing right? 🐺🐟 The wolf eel has been known to be friendly with divers in the wild. #FeaturedFishFriday

Pacific sand soles are born with eyes on both sides of their body like most fish. 👀 As they mature one of their eyes will either shift to the right side of the body or the left. #FeaturedFishFriday

Cuttlefish control their camouflauge through specialized cells called chromatophores. See how many you can find in our new cuttlefish nursery in The Gallery! #FeaturedFishFriday

What's going on? Here we have one of our Aquarists cleaning the sea nettle tank. That barrier is to protect the diver from any possible stings and to give the diver room to scrub. While the stings can be painful the jellies are rarely dangerous. #FeaturedFishFriday

No this is not a hammerhead shark but it is very close! This is a bonnethead shark one of the 9 specie types of the hammerhead shark family. The unique bonnethead has nearly 360-degree vision and excellent depth perception. #FeaturedFishFriday #SharkWeek

Unlike many animals that use camouflage the frogfish will take several weeks to fully change its colours. #FeaturedFishFriday

French grunts, also known as Sweet Lips👄 are known for their grunting sounds. These sounds are made their flat teeth plates rubbing against each other and then amplified🔊 by their air bladders. #FeaturedFishFriday
