The Roundhouse Aquarium<\/a>, the ocean-minded, free-to-see institution at the western end of Manhattan Beach Pier, always has something rather amazing in the works.<\/p>\n

It could be the opportunity to behold King Tides, near the start of summer and winter, from outside the aquarium, or perhaps you’re a fan of the lighthearted plankton races, which have been held inside.<\/p>\n

And just about everyone adores the big and brightly lit Christmas tree<\/a>, a decoration created from bulbs and electricity, that illuminates the top of the octagon-shaped structure around Thanksgiving Week.<\/p>\n

Now, as summer winds down, a cool new quartet is capturing fishy fancies at the splashy spot: Giant Pacific seahorses<\/a>, four juveniles in all, are now on view at the Roundhouse Aquarium.<\/p>\n

These are seahorses, still, so, nope, they’re not going to out-measure a flounder or some larger ocean dweller; they’re still on the petite side, all told. <\/p>\n

But talk about possessing an eye-catching presence, and sheer prettiness, too: If you’re a seahorse lover, you’ll want to stop by and admire the elegant and frankly awesome Hippocampus ingens from a nearby spot.<\/p>\n

“Fun fact: Male seahorses are the ones that carry and give birth to the babies \u2014 a rare role in the animal kingdom,” shared the aquarium staff on social media.<\/p>\n

That, for sure, should be one of the topics of discussion as you and your family or friends linger before the seahorses’ home corral, er, tank.<\/p>\n

After oohing and aahing over these wonders and their incredible, branch-grasping tails, make time to visit the aquarium’s other denizens, including moon jellies, leopard sharks, and oh-so-pink strawberry anemones.<\/p>\n

Admission to the aquarium is complimentary.<\/p>\n
