Chek Jawa: Just One Day in May 2012

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 : )
