Recce trip @ St John's Island on May 8, 2008

CBD at dawn

Breathtaking sunrise

Part of the coastal forest and rocky shores. We even saw the heron perched on top of the hill.

It was my virgin trip to St. John's Island and i must say i'm extremely lucky. Guess it has been a while since i did any exploratory trip/guiding, so everything's out to greet me :P. Among the many finds, we spotted the following:

Soft corals

Hard corals

A type of sponge. Sponges are filter-feeding animals. Produce chemicals that are mostly toxic.

A garoupa spotted and set free in natural settting

Copper-banded butterfly fish. Notice the false eye it has at its fin.

Flatworms

Other animals - feather star, anemone, pyhlid nudibranch, emperor shrimp, octopus, hermit in conch shell, sapsucker

Some types of algae

It was an extremely good day at St. John's. I'm looking forward to end June's trip.
