i believe in the beginning they had two whale sharks. ralph and norton. ralph died a few months back, norton very recently. thy still have four sharks left that were added between ralph and norton's deaths (RIP you big fishees).
check this out. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...1#post10135601 it includes a letter written by Jeff Swanagan, President and Executive Director of GA (the guy you were talkin about tony?). edit: apparently the remaining four sharks are doing just fine.

 http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/newsr...s/carlson.aspxI'm happy to hear the other whale sharks are doing OK. I guess it sucks to have such a high profile animal, your flagship animals, decline in health. I would love to see these guys one day. I'm sort of thinking of going this fall if I can scrape the funds together. I don't need no steenken' MACNA to go (haven't been to one yet, not sure if I'm really missing anything).  Although yeah it would be cool to combine the two into one trip of course.

We should have a Canreef Caravan, get a group rate, and do the behind the scenes tour!

Thanks for the post. I been so fascinated with the Whale Sharks. Always love to hear whats happening in other aquariums.

I always think about going to a MACNA but never do. It would be very cool if they hosted it at this aquarium though. I just think it would be so neat to see one of the newest & worlds largest aquariums. Whale sharks you don't get to see everyday either in travels. Always thought it would be so cool to go on a tour where you can swim with them. O.k me bad.

I bet if enough people joined in we could get a group rate flight, accomidations, and some behind the scenes access at the aquarium. Like Lee said, how could would it be!
