Semakau : Hunting Seeking (30 May 2009)


Carpet AnemoneSet off for Semakau Hunting Seeking event on 30 May 2009 at 7.30am, and hoping to see many new animals there. I was in Group 57 with my friend Martina, and we needed to walk very far from the starting point to the hunting area.

We were told that many new animals (eg. stonefish) might be seen there as not many people have explored that area.

While walking towards my assigned zone 57, I was greeted by the Haddon's Carpet Anemone. This reminded me of the Carpet Anemones at Chek Jawa but were destroyed 2 years ago by the fresh water flowed down from Johor due to the massive flood.


Sea SlugSea SlugSpotted a cute Onch Slug crawling slowly near the mangrove area, and the underside of it is Light Green in colour.

The Onch Slug camouflaged itself well among the sandy area and it was the biggest Onch I ever saw, almost close to 5cm.



Red Berry SnailSaw 2 very small snails sticking onto each other, and realised that they are actually the Red Berry Snail. They are so small and tiny, and not easy to spot without good eyesight. Blister Worm
While looking at the snails, a sparkling worm suddenly caught my attention. It is the poisoness Bristle Worm, and its movement is so swift and fast and very difficult to catch it.

After started our hunting for about 15 minutes, the weather suddenly turned bad and we had no choice but to stop and go back to the assembly point. Sigh :-(
