Hot and Sunny @ Beting Bemban Besar.....

Unlike my 1st trip to this patch reef just off Pulau Semakau in January, we were blessed with good weather and injury-free today! :o)



And here are some creatures that we encountered;



Beautiful Fanworms/Tubeworms!

Hairy Crabs are commonly seen.


A Snapping Shrimp out and about.


A little Upside-down Jellyfish.


The only knobbly Sea Star that I saw.


A rather small Carpet Eel Blenny hiding under a rock. Maybe it's a juvenile.....hmmm.


The only other fish which is "slow" enough to get a shot is this Copper-banded Butterflyfish.


This Octopus was actively moving around hunting for foods.


Just nearby the Octopus, spotted 4 of these Reliable Chromodoris nudibranch (Chromodoris fidelis).


A ever oh-so-cute Polka-dot nudibranch (Jorunna funebris) on a blue sponge.


Also found this tiny tiny orange snail that I often came across during diving in our local waters.


Here's a closer look at it. Still have no idea of its ID.


Last but not least, Marcus found a Fluted Giant Clam!
