Is the blue lobster no longer on exhibit? I noticed you mentioned a freshwater fish exhibit but didn't mention the lobster so I wasn't sure.
It would have been in the aquarium right before you turn down the hallway to the komodo dragon and the rainforest. Also I was waiting to see if you saw the golden lion tamarins. I've literally never seen them in the rainforest exhibit. Not sure what the deal is.
I didn't see the golden lion tamarins, but I really didn't look that close. And I know where the blue lobster was/is, but I didn't really look that closely... I was in a hurry to get to the Komodos and Curious Creatures.
