Holy bat stars!  Are you ready to get up close and personal with some wet and wild sea creatures?  The Open House touch tank, hosted by the Invertebrate Zoology Lab, is a must-see.   We’ll have crabs, snails, sponges – and even some deep-sea sea stars that you won’t get to see anywhere else!  It just wouldn’t be a marine lab without some live critters roaming around.   So let us bring the ocean to you – come check out just what these animals need to live under the sea!

The touch tank is fun for all ages!
