As with previous year, there are a few days in the month of June when the tide is really low. Area that usually cover by sea water will be exposed during low tide. That make it easy to have a glimpse on the life underwater without putting on scuba diving gears.
Most Biscuit sea star will have 5 arms. This one is special, having only 4 arms.
Is always a pleasure to have seen this big sea star in the mainland Singapore. They are found commonly on off-shore island but not so on the main island of Singapore.
A Plain sand star is about to burrow into the sands.
A good comparison of size between the big brother Chocholate Chips Sea Star (aka Knobbly Sea Star) with the smaller Buiscuit sea star.
A Noble volute with its distinctive zig-zag patterns on the shell and the black & orange spots foot.
Saw this Murex snail that is bigger than my palm!
There are several Babylonia snail that is still out in the open, they will usually burried themselves in the sand after sun rise.
Another Babylonis snal that is orange in colour.
Saw this small Horseshoe crab moult. Do you know that horseshoe crab's blood is blue in colour? The copper in their blood that gave them the blue colour unlike us, red colour came from iron.
A rather uncommon posture of Thunder crab, play dead when it got spotted.
This Brittle stars taking shelter under the Sea Anemone. Only one arm is visible.
Another creature that live among Sea Anemone is this Anemone Shrimp.
Another very beautiful animal that camaflag very well and not easy to be spotted easily. This Porcelain crab is having the same colour and patterns with their host - a Sea Pen.
Big pile of Squid egg.
A rather docile Bansded File Snake.
Another sun rise another great trip in the month of June.
