Pulau Semakau 17 Aug 08 (Part 8 - Others)

We also saw some fan worms! They are actually a type of segmented worm that has feathery structures on its head. They live in a flexible, leathery tube.


This is a Spiral Melongena (Pugilina cochlidium) laying eggs! This snail probably feeds on barnacles.

We were lucky enough to spot an octopus! Can you see it? Octopuses are masters of camouflage, able to change their skin colour according to their surroundings.

I am very impressed with the vast amount of marine life that can be found along the shoreline of Singapore. It is really a surprise to me! Let's do our part to preserve these natural wonders.
