Actually jellyfish is colourless but it can reflect the colour of the light, very beautiful.

Finding Nemo





Touch pool for experiencing the marine creatures



It was feeding time, the worker feed the fish just like feeding a baby

Hillarys Boat Harbour is such a beautiful place

I enjoyed this aquarium tour. We managed to see how the workers feed the marine creatures, they have been treated as baby included sharks and stingray. Anyway, I prefer Underwater World at Sentosa Island, maybe because I got to see pink dolphin show at Sentosa Island. However, again due to winter season, we didn't see any special marina creatures such as whale.
