Creatures at Sea Life Aquarium Istanbul

Seahorses and Pipefish

From the tiniest, measuring just 2.5 cm, to the largest, the Big Bellied Seahorse, which is around 12 times this size, there are almost 50 different species of seahorses. To boost the overall number of young seahorses, the male seahorse cares for the brood of infants in his pouch so that the female can immediately begin to lay a new batch of eggs.

Turtles

The Caretta Caretta Sea Turtle is an omnivore that mostly consumes crustaceans that live on the ocean floor. Their strong, broad jaws are an efficient tool for tearing apart prey. Currently, existing sea turtles come in eight different species. Two of these, the Caretta Caretta and Chelonia Mydas, who use Turkey's beaches for breeding, and other five species live in the Mediterranean.

Jellyfish

Although they might not be everyone’s preferred sea species, these strangely attractive stingers are undoubtedly one of the most fascinating. They appear strange and attractive in the water. Jellyfish don't like to touch hard objects, so their cylindrical tanks have water that is continually circulating inside of them. Most jellyfish are safe to touch, but be careful as some of them are very dangerous and deadly to encounter.

Rays

While many people think rays seem strange with their mouths underneath and eyes on top, rays are among the most attractive creatures. Most of their time is spent either waiting for prey to swim past or resting partially submerged on the ocean floor to avoid predators like sharks. Stingrays, Electric Rays, Saw Fish, Eagle Rays, and Butterfly Rays are a few ray species that one can encounter here.

Octopus

Since octopuses are mollusks, they belong to the same phylum (or family) as cuttlefish, squid, slugs, and snails, and are renowned for having excellent intelligence. These crafty predators are difficult to avoid since they can fit into confined spaces to find their prey, to blend in perfectly with their environment, and both sneak up on prey and hide from predators.

Clownfish

One of the few ocean animals that can live inside a sea anemone's poisonous tentacle is a clownfish. They prefer to stay in sea anemones where they are safe from scavengers and may eat the leftover food the anemones catch. All clownfish are born male because of their vibrant clown-like coloring, and the biggest male will change sex when the females pass away.
