Went to the California Academy of Science today in San Francisco. They house the Steinhart Aquarium, and various other displays of snakes, lizards, frogs, and spiders.

Not a bad display all around for $7, the marine side was a disappointment (they usually are though), but the freshwater and reptile displays were very good. Here are some marine related photos from there. They are in a temporary building while they rebuild the facility in San Francisco park.

Looks like the brown with blue tip stag is everywhere:

Also picked up the three volume set Veron's "Corals of the World". They are absolutely amazing books, the photography and quality is top notch. Highly recommend this set. It covers virtually all known hard corals (doesn't cover soft corals).

Some Freshwater pics here:
