It was one of the balls that you put hamsters in to run around the house in... I have no idea why it was there ha I was trying to figure that out myself

You put food in it and the octo will open it. Gives them a challenge

Very nice thanks for sharing. I have been there and can actually say it well worth the drive. It's better than the New York Aquarium in Brooklyn.
Did you take the behind the scenes tour of the reef tank?

Awsome pics. Is Atlantis a LFS or a public aquarium? Those display tanks are incredible!

Great Pics Nate..........I would love to take that trip someday . See you in the Casino . LOL

It's a private aquarium and that display is 20,000 gallons, yes it's sweeeet.

Third picture is a filefish (my favorite fish I saw as well).

Yea it looked better than the Brooklyn aquarium online ha glad I made the right choice.

No I didn't take the behind the scenes tour. I'm not a member of LIRA and I just went with the girlfriend. Did get to see them feed the piranha though which was sweet.

That's cool about the Octopus, didn't know that.
