Working on fishy facts during stream:

• Copied TODOs from 20260619235850
• COTSBot and RangerBot are autonomous vehicles that can kill the crown of thorns starfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXmvOjiYdvo&t=300s
• Sea Anemone's benefit from being on a hermit crab's shell because they can eat the scraps of the hermit crab's messy eating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYFALyP2e7U
• Not sure if we can do sea urchin levels in the touchpool area, I don't have anything left to tutorialize the player on. Hermit crab level teaches stubs and pins, starfish teaches stubs and colors. Maybe sea urchin level can teach pins and colors? I wish there was something new though. I think we should do sea urchins later, in a different exhibit.
