The diversity of marine creatures witnessed by participants of our guided intertidal walks at Chek Jawa in May 2012 were amazing if not star-studded. Showcased below are findings in just one such walk. Enjoy!!
A rare Spiny sea star amongst the regular sea cucumbers, sea snails, crabs and shrimps...
Knobbly sea star...
Biscuit sea star...
Brittle star...
Feather star...
Common sea star...
And an A-list must-see Seahorse...
Besides the usual Flathead and Catfish, we found a Toadfish...
Delicate and graceful dancers of the sea... a Blue Dragon and a Black-margined Glossodoris nudibranch and a sea hare...
And our harmless armoured friends... Horseshoe Crabs that always delight participants...
And a baby squid adding a change of colours that wows everyone without fail...
Last but not least, a piece of heaven on earth in the gentle light of dawn.
How wonderful wonderful our world is, don't you agree?
And as for me, a sea squirt that I have not seen before...
Thank you, Chek Jawa : )
