STAR PARTY @ Semakau实马高岛的海星聚会

It is said that Semakau is a heaven for knobbly sea stars and we didn't observe a single one during our previous three surveys. This time it seems they are holding a year-end party and we observed more than 60 knobbly sea stars including three juveniles.
这次实马高岛生物多样性调查的主要任务是监测海草的生长状况,稍后会单独发帖介绍。六十多只多节海星的聚会让人大开眼,所以优先报导。
We found most of the adults in this area, coral rubber zone
大部分海星聚集在这片砂地
They are ready for you to take group photos
随便一个角度可以拍到四五只海星
The juveniles were found in the seagrass meadow, you can notice the diffence between the juvenile and the adult here (Ron, please point our if I am wrong)
不过三只幼年海星都是在海草区发现的,图中显示了幼年(左)和成年(右)海星
We found five sea stars there and put them together for a group photo, and soon we found this arrangement is really unnecessary
当我们发现这五只海星时,心中的喜悦难以言表,于是将它们排列起来拍了第一张合影,随后一二十分钟我们见识到了形形色色的多节海星:
different colors
不同的肤色
different knob patterns
不同的突起
different color patterns
不同的颜色图案
Slim or fat 燕瘦环肥
pose?造型












please set a knobbly sea star reserve here, right now!
