Wishing Upon A Star

North-East, Singapore
May 2013

During last month's full moon low tides, Merlion Wayfarer was at the shores...

Beneath small stones, fragile Ophiuroidea (Brittle Star) starfishes roam...

Dull-coloured Actiniaria (Anemones) lay well-hidden...

A Paguroidea (Hermit Crab) with hairy legs in a borrowed shell under a stone peeking out...

Sometimes hiding sentry Cryptocentrus Leptocephalus (Slender-Lined Shrimp-Gobies) 
which watch over the burrows of the Alpheidae (Snapping Shrimps)...
(Read their story on "Nature's Sonic Boooom")

An Oxudercinae (Mudskipper) lies motionless, undisturbed by the actions of the gigantic human watching it...

[Video] These surfaces of several stones were covered by a living organism 
which breathes out little bubbles into the shallow water pools...
