It was more than 2 years ago when I last visited Pulau Semakau before the closure for the work on 2nd phase of the last landfill of Singapore.
This photo was taken after the walk... wefie time! :)
A very familiar trail that we have to go through before reaching the shore.
The fun begin the minute we hit the shore. Common sea star can be seen everywhere on the shore which is very uncommon over the main land Singapore.
Is the season of Sargassum seaweed during this time of the year. Large part of the shore are covered with them.
Is good to see so many sea cucumber around.
Another snake like sea cucumber that we saw taking shelter over the Sargassum seaweed - Synaptid sea cucumber
Upsidedown jellyfish (Cassiopea sp.) is also in season. Saw many of them almost every few steps.
Saw this very bright colour Carpet anemone.
This Hairy crab can camouflage very well be it under water or on dry land. When under water, their hair will break their outline so that they don't look like a crab!
This Noble volute is laying egg.
We also saw quite a number of nudibranch such as Polka-dot nudibranch, Gymnodoris & Bohol nudibranch.
Another real "Star" attraction is this Knobly sea star. They are no longer found on main land due to over collection by beach goer.
Managed to find 'Nemo'! We still have wild clown fish in Singapore. Semakau is one of the place you can see them without getting wet with your dive suit/tank.
There are huge & soft. Used to see it when I was diving and is now expose during low tide.
Cuttle fish! So cute to see them swimming in the water.
When you see red colour... Warning! This red egg crab can not be consumed and their toxin will not be destroyed with heat (after cooking).
The sun about to set as the tide return... another great day on our shore.
