I give the GA State Aquarium an official thumbs up. Highlights inlcuded, of course the beluga whales, but also the sea and river otters, African penguins, and some very amorous sea lions. (At least, I'm assuming that all the twining around each other and nipping constituted some kind of pinniped foreplay). We were also quite taken with the sea turtle (e per, se muove!), the leafy sea dragons, and the creepily beautiful sea nettles.

Our favorites among the non-mammals, though, had to be the garden eels. They're little tiny things, like very long, colorful worms--except we never did find out how long, because they burrow tail-first into the sea-bed, and nose around in the water looking for bits of plankton to eat. When something scares them (as two large yellow fish did by swimming down close to the sand), they retreat back into their burrows, then cautiously eel back out to see if the coast is clear.
