ReefFriends Reef Survey Training @ Pulau Hantu.....
This morning, BWV ReefFriends conducted a reef survey training for some volunteers. The training focused on recording coral life-forms using the Line Intercept Transact (LIT) method.
The volunteers need to learn to record the life-form of the corals such as whether they are massive, sub-massive, foliage etc...
Sigh, we came across some corals that are not doing very well.
Some other stuffs besides corals we saw;
Featherstars or Crinoids can be seen out the the open on top of corals gathering food particles in the currents.
Tubeworm!
Pretty Flatworms!
A Mosaic crab hiding in the crevices. This is the most poisonous crab of Singapore and cooking does not destroy the toxins.
Nudibranch! Top-down: Pimply Phyllid nudibranc (Phyllidiella pustulosa), The "Godzilla" Ceratosoma nudibranch (Ceratosoma gracillimum) and the ever oh-so-CUTEEEE Polka-dot nudibranch (Jorunna funebris)
The False-clown Anemonefishes were pretty hostile as they were guarding their eggs. See the orange stuffs on the rock?
