Opps! I Did It Again!
Changi Ferry Terminal was pretty much alive with crustaceans and slugs on Thursday morning & we saw quite a few interesting sights.
Tom spotted a massive troop of baby hermit crabs and they seemed to like us pretty much! I think they loved our booties as they all crawled onto Wai's.
A very-much-alive scallop that clapped in the water & splashed water at Tom.
A tripod fish found by Bernie. First time we saw it at Changi Ferry Terminal!
The seahares were almost one palm size!
The climax of the day, however, is...
I stepped onto a flat sole!
OPPS!!!
Guessed it must have hurt pretty badly. It was flapping like mad as I looked at it in guilt.The flatsole then flapped its way into a shallow pool of water & all of us shrieked!
The tripod fish was right in front of the flatsole!!!
The tripod fish didnt notice the flatsole and swam as close to 2cm in front of the mouth of the flatsole. The flatsole, I must say, is very good at camouflaging in sandy bottom, which the tripod fish & I missed.
But I think that is the only way of how a flatsole is to be found during our trips...
opps! opps! opps!

I think we cruched a fair few of the hermit crabs as well before we realised what they were...
Such comes with the territory... Big bumbling people, and tiny, well camoflaged creatures make for crunch.
Be glad that was a sole fish you stepped on rather than some of the nastier more well-hidden members of the reef/shore community....
