Banner Display (sweet!) for NJAAS.
Table for kids to trace/draw a horseshoe crab, plus great factual info.
Bin with live horseshoe crab and starfish. Nice to have a touch area for the young reefers.
Horseshoe Crab
Horseshoe crab eggs. Interesting that the eggs are greenish/grey like this (as opposed to the bright orange you get with say blue crabs or clownfish). I guess if they are bright orange - makes it even less likely they'd survive the mass bird attack (which occurs twice a year when they attempt to lay theirs eggs while seashore birds have a huge egg buffet). Sharon and (I forget the other lady's name) mentioned that perhaps only 4 eggs in a million will make it thru the 10 meta periods to reach a mini horseshoe crab size. Incredible.
