The mesmerising jellyfish tank at Shark Reef at the Mandalay Bay casino.

Sea turtles? It says there were sea turtles there, but I don't remember seeing them. I did see the sharks, but they did not seem as impressive as these jellies.

Did they have sea dragons?

No, really. That's a relative of a sea horse. Really.

They have trouble breeding them in capitivity. It's the male that gets pregnant or something.

I do not recall if Mandalay Bay had sea-dragons. I know them well, however, since I saw them just last September and got a few nice pictures.

The male sea-horse gets pregnant, so if sea-dragons are a lot like sea-horses, they probably reproduce the same way.

Pictures are easily available.

Aren't they cool?

But they're camo is so good, the first time I saw them, I didn't SEE them. I thought the tank was empty except for the seaweed.

Yes, they are cool, and I did not see them at first. I only found one good photo (the other is blurred) but there are many more photos of ocean life where this came from.
