I went to the aquarium at Horniman Museum in Dec 2009. The aquarium had been newly designed and featured open tanks and a large sea water pool with an enormous lobster, and I particularly remember the jellyfish.
In Dec 2024 I went back to the aquarium as I had a free ticket. I knew the aquarium had changed again and sadly I found it disappointing. It is located in the basement of the museum and there is no longer the large pool and only one very small open tank.
The first displays feature British displays. Moving on there is a tank of jellyfish, an Indonesian mangrove display and then the coral displays.
The largest fish is a Moorish idol, a yellow butterflyfish and "Nemo" clownfish, with anemones in the background -

This one intrigued me, but I couldn't get a good photo. It is long horn cowfish, which is a boxfish and gets its name from its horns -
