First up! Look at these baby golden jellies trying so hard! They've gotta swim fast because they're filter feeders, and fast swimming = happy eating! https://twitter.com/RebeccaRHelm/status/1281685568414515200
Next, the leaf sheep are coming! These little friend-shaped slugs (technically not nudibranchs) have two little eyes to peer into your soul with their cuteness... https://twitter.com/RebeccaRHelm/status/1245087650996015105
They're related to the always-adorable sea bunny! With two little 'ears' (actually more like noses) and a bushy little tail (actually gills), these little bunnies crawl around the seafloor. But did you know how SMOL THEY ARE?!

Lumpfish are very smart! And can even be trained to do little tricks. Though sitting on friends comes naturally to these round fish. Remember social distancing little lumpfish! https://twitter.com/RebeccaRHelm/status/1282762542704721921
Lumpfish aren't the strongest swimmers, Instead, they have little fin-suction cups on their stomachs. But they'll swim really hard if it means a treat! https://twitter.com/jmhuiee/status/1239952076370669569
Sometimes baby octopus-like to ride on other animals in the open ocean. This little seahorse was an excellent choice baby octopus! https://twitter.com/RebeccaRHelm/status/1234673205928845317
Of course, a whole group of baby octopus riding on jellyfish is a good choice, too! Look at those fancy hats! https://twitter.com/RebeccaRHelm/status/1154066123782070274
Speaking of fancy hats, many sea urchins like to pick up and carry rocks around the aquarium for hours or days at a time. So when an aquarist decided to put little hats in the tank, the results turned adorable... https://twitter.com/MiriamGoldste/status/1255118469927968771
Look at this baby fish excited to see you! Looking very fancy with those fins and big goofy smile tiny friend! https://twitter.com/RebeccaRHelm/status/1096449562003279872
Speaking of tiny! Check out these SMALLEST OF JELLY BABIES. They're zooming around very busy, and *just* learning to pulse. Watch closely: can you see a few taking their first little baby pulses? https://twitter.com/RebeccaRHelm/status/1223317842604331010
And who can deny the cuteness of OTTER POCKETS?! Did you know otters have little built-in pockets under their arms for storing food? They'll even save their favorite rock in their pocket! https://twitter.com/shedd_aquarium/status/1270801687285039106
And cute isn't only about the eyes: did you know some sea slugs smell like candy? https://twitter.com/RebeccaRHelm/status/1283622778239942656
Hang in there, find your favorite rock, and remember that the world is still a pretty cool place.
