Invertebrates

The Aquarium opens up the world of invertebrates that commonly live along Oregon's shores. Visitors can find 21 species of sea stars exhibited throughout the Aquarium, from the filigree-like basket star to the aptly named bat star; live sand dollars stand on end off of sandy-bottomed beaches.
