Found a washed up piece of sea turtle shell with barnacles on it and they are still alive!
We brought it back to our marine tank for observation and as you can see from this video the sensory and feeding limbs of these barnacles are covered with fine feather like hair called 'cirri'. Extending out each time to comb the seawater for plankton and organic particles for food.

Malam-malam cari ikan dan ketam.
Pada masa air surut, inilah masanya kita keluar mencari hidupan laut di air cetek. Pelbagai jenis hidupan laut dapat dijumpai dari spesis ikan, krustasia, siput laut bahkan mamalia terbang seperti kelawar yang memangsakan ikan.
Walaupun karang laut hampir pupus di perairan cetek ini, namun jumpa juga hidupan laut yang mampu bertahan di dalam keadaan yang tertekan.
Hidupan laut manghadapi pelbagai tekanan - antaranya ialah dari kenaikan suhu air laut, pencemaran, kegiatan manusia, kerosakan habitat dan pemangsaan sesama makhluk lautan.
Hidupan yang kami jumpa kebanyakkan boleh menyembunyikan dirinya di sebalik / celah batu, di bawah runtuhan batu karang, di dalam selud / pasir.
Spesis ketam kecil mudah dijumpai ketika mereka keluar untuk mencari makanan yang halus seperti sisa plankton dan sisa organik lain di atas permukaan berpasir yang masih basah.
Ikan-ikan kecil p**a menyorok dan tidur diantara celah batu dan rumpai laut. Mudah di sauk untuk diambil gambarnya.
Siput laut p**a amat senang dijumpai tetapi terhad kepada hanya beberapa spesis.
Ada p**a terjumpa haiwan yang terbang rendah berdekatan permukaan air. Adakalanya nampak mereka 'main' air. Rupa-rupanya haiwan ini ialah beberapa ekor kelawar.
Sungguh berhasil malam ini, kita dapat jumpa pelbagai jenis hidupan laut. Pengalaman ini membuka mata anak-anak kita kepada alam semulajadi yang menyeronokkan dan menggembirakan.
Sudah lewat malam. Pulanglah kami.

Predator and prey in action. Predation of button snails by a moon snail.
See how button snails wriggle away to escape the clutches of a moon snail.
Bladder Moon Snail - Neverita didyma.
It can be found on the seabed with fine sand. This predatory sea snail latch on and bore into the shell of its prey to access the meat. It may look harmless to us but it is feared among marine organisms such as sea snails and bivalves that lives in and on the shallow seabed.
Have you ever seen an Asian Soldier Crab feed?
They filter minute particles of organic matter on the surface of wet sand during low tide.
Red Egg Crab - Atergatis intergerrimus up close.
It is found hiding below coral rubble near rocky shores. Although it is a common crab, not many people have actually seen it. Its carapace is red and is hard to miss, peppered by small dots in a floral pattern which makes it look attractive.
This is a docile crab that is not afraid to be eaten. Its toxicity rivals the pufferfish! It does not belong to the seafood category.
This brings back memories of a Philippino influencer who died of eating a poisonous crab back in 2024 immediately after filming her content.
Toxins cannot be destroyed by cooking. So, please do not go around catching brightly coloured and beautiful crabs to eat. Do yourself a favour and gain some knowledge first. Many marine wildlife have toxins to protect themselves.
Q: Can you hold or touch it?
A: Yes, you can.
Q: Can you eat it?
A: You should know that answer by now.

Cryptic Sea Stars - Cryptasterina pentagona in motion from Pulau Sibu.
Note: All specimens collected had been returned to its habitat after closeup observation and filming.

Death stare of the Ferocious Reef Crab - Eriphia ferox from Pulau Sibu, Johor.
The 1st photo sends a clear message it says .... off! Snaps at your hand hard.
This is not a docile crab, it is so strong and menacing. Can't get a good grip on it even when cornered and don't even think of pulling it away from the rocks. It lodges itself between the rocks with a vice grip like no other. So hard to lift it out without actually destroying its carapace and killing it. Left it alone without the chance to examine it.
We have not seen this species in Port Dickson. Looking forward in the future to find its molted shell.
