ZT Marine Mania: Crustacean house

This time, the crustacean house gets some attention. Bear in mind, the path includes stairs and two floors. Next up, I'll take some liberties with the shark tunnel. Animal sets in the comments.

      @JigerofLemuria I don't know if a Crustacean House would be very popular among the visitors.
      Maybe you have some concrete examples of such exhibits in zoos or aquaria ?
    • JigerofLemuria
      @Haliaeetus Not really... I was almost tempted to make it a temperate waters aquarium with several types of fish. But in the end, I decided to go with the more unique take the game proposes. I think it came out fine.
