No I ain't happy yet

After working at an aquarium for 2 years I can honestly say they do not care about being pet. It doesn’t even wake them up while they sleep during the day.

Those sharks live a very cushy life being well fed on schedule each and every day. The exhibit was also large enough that if they didn’t want to be pet they could (and would) go out of reach of the less gentle people if they choose to. I would actually have to warn people not to reach for animal that don’t want to be pet and those who ignored the warning usually slipped and had to walk around the rest of the day with a soaked shirt. No one ever got hurt.

Just like any animal it needs to be acclimated to being handled. For example there are people who don’t get their dogs used to being touched on their paws, and these dogs react negatively to necessary grooming. Other people are very good about getting their dogs used to the sensation of being handled in sensitive areas because they know it will be better for the animal’s health in the long run. These sharks have been handled from a young age, and this is also important for their health. If they get hurt or sick the biologists are going to need to handle them to treat them.

What the sharks don’t like is being grabbed or picked up or poked in the face which is why there are people there telling you not to do those things. When guests would repeatedly refuse to follow instructions they would be asked to leave the touch exhibit.

Sting rays on the other hand love being pet and will sometimes stay in once spot making tight circles back to the same person over and over again. They are tactile animals and enjoy the sensations of different textures, which is why you see them sliding down the large smooth windows at larger display tanks.

Phyllodesmium briareum is an aeolid nudibranch species that lives in the Indo-Pacific. The 2.5cm long slug feeds on soft corals like Briareum stecheri, which is where the nudibranch got its name. In fact, it often resembles the coral it is found on, a form of camouflage!
