Protoreastar nodosus aka 'Patrick'...
sebenarnya gambar ni di ambil di Pulau Merambong..tapi kat seagrass bed pun banyak sea star ni..emm....where its mouth, eye etc? according to Wikipedia, bintik2 hitam pada badan dia adalah untuk menakutkan musuh excluding manusia kot, sebab nampak macam tajam, tapi bila disentuh, keras tapi xtajam. and its look interesting because of nice colour combination..subhanallah..at this moment, i do not much about this unique creature only got info from internet..may be could be one of research subject in future (if they still exist)..*mood:worried for development that may wipe out this species from our shore..*
this photo taken among seagrass at Tanjung Kupang seagrass bed..the seagrass surround the sea star was Enhalus acoroides (have long leaves compared to other species of seagrass, about 92-140 cm long)
Holothuria leucospilota,

Holothuria leucospilota,berbentuk selinder, warna hitam dan bila dipegang, lembut dan licin..bila dipicit (bukan picit kuat, tekan kulit dia sikit je) dia akan keluarkan air dari mulut (rasanye la)..pancutan air tu ada rasa macam ada pasir...byk dijumpai di sekitar batu karang dan rumput laut..tp mostly near coral area just like the picture..
one type of sea cucumber (gamat) but do have any medical value (according to my source).. but some people harvested them for food (delicacy type of seafood i guest)..
