Daily fish fact #744
Salema porgy!
Also known by the name of dreamfish! This social species prefers a diet of seagrass and algae as an adult, but mainly hunts crustaceans when younger. This fish can contain toxins that cause LSD-like visual and auditory hallucinations in people lasting up to several days, but the exact causes for the toxicity or even what toxins cause this effect are not very well known.
Posting it all naked and unglazed even... Mostly because cara's function is down. But it'll be back and the arms race will continue. Anyway common dolphins & salema!
#PrideMonth has arrived, and I'm coming out again. I'm not just pansexual, I'm non-binary, and I've had characters just like me for years. Let's have some solidarity, in the many colors, shapes and sizes non-binary folks come in! A lack of androgyny doesn't make us binary. #nonbinary #comingout #intersex #agender #genderfluid #CityBetween #VictoriousCross #cyberpunk #CaptureSpiral #AriRianna #aranha #spinner #CenturyCitySentinels #superhero #salema #dakarai #dozer #artist #digitalartist #digitalillustration #characterdesign #digitalart #artistforcommission #pride2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CePChebJC1S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Honey, who shrunk the kelp forest? New baby California kelp forest fish are making themselves at home in our Seaweed Gardens exhibit. These little fish may look small now, but will grow into some of the most recognizable faces in the kelp forest:
The Seaweed Gardens exhibit provides a cozy home for baby fish before they grow up and move on to bigger displays. Learn more about how our aquarists care for these young fish.
