Green sea turtle: At the Manadalay Bay Shark reef, we were able to see this very large endangered adult female green sea turtle swimming gracefully among the sharks. Green sea turtle inhabits tropical and subtropical coastal waters around the world and unlike other sea turtles which swim close to the surface to warm in the sun, green sea turtles have been observed sunbathing on land! They're among the largest sea turtles in the world. The largest green turtle ever found was 5 feet in length and 871 pounds. Males are slightly larger than females and have a longer tail. Adult green turtles are herbivorous, feeding on sea grasses and algae. Juvenile green turtles, however, will also eat invertebrates like crabs, jellyfish, and sponges. Seahorses: Visiting the NY Aquarium recently, I saw sea horses curling their tails to anchor themselves on coral then propelling themselves on to another coral by quickly fluttering their dorsal fins. They're amazing animals! Unlike most other fish, they are monogamous and mate for life. They’re among the only animal species on Earth in which the male bears the unborn young. Male seahorses are equipped with a brood pouch, in which the female deposits her eggs when mating, and the male fertilizes them internally. He carries the eggs in his pouch until they hatch, then releases fully formed, miniature seahorses into the water. Seahorses have no teeth and no stomach. Food passes through their digestive systems so quickly, they must eat almost constantly to stay alive. Sea Star: Sea stars are closely related to the sand dollar and sea urchin, Echinoderms class of marine animals. All of these animals have a "spiny skin" (which looks like a shell) that surrounds and protects their organs and tissues. Sea stars are famous for their ability to regenerate limbs, and in some cases, entire bodies. They accomplish this by housing most or all of their vital organs in their arms. Sea stars also have no brains and no blood. They have a cluster of nerves called ganglia that form a ring in the center of the starfish which is called the circumoral nerve ring. A radial nerve extends at right angles from the circumoral nerve ring into each arm. With the exception of eye spots in the tip of each arm there are no specialized sense organs such as eyes or ears. Their “blood” is actually filtered sea water. Conch (pronounced 'konk' or conch): Conchs have spirally constructed shells. This spiral shell growth is usually dextral but on very rare occasions it can be sinistral. Conchs have long eye stalks with colorful ring-marked eyes. Conchs have a characteristic leaping motion, using their pointed, sickle-shaped, horny operculum to propel themselves forward. They are plant eaters and can live as long as 25 years. Sand dollar: Sand dollars are closely related to sea stars and sea urchins, Echinoderms class of marine animals. Sand dollars reproduce by spawning their eggs or sperm into the water at the same time as others when the water conditions are right. The eggs are fertilized in the surrounding water, and immediately start to develop into a sand dollar larvae through division of cells. The larvae float in the water column, continually growing as they feed on smaller organisms. Eventually the larvae settle to the bottom of the ocean and metamorphose into a sand dollar. The animals continue to grow until adults by feeding on organic particles in the sand. When the test of a long dead sand dollar is broken open, small white pieces of calcium carbonate fall out. These were the tiny teeth in the mouth of the living sand dollar.
