2021-04-30 08:10:04 Now for the reveal… you’re looking at the One-horned Spider Crab! Did you guess it right?

An expert at camouflage, this crab uses its small size and colour to camouflage with the algae and seagrass in its habitat. It also uses debris to cover itself, making it inconspicuous to predators! Open / Comment

2021-04-28 08:10:03 Introducing the Mushroom Plant (Rungia klossii), which packs the texture of spinach and the taste of mushroom all in one! It is rich in vitamin C and iron, just like the spinach, and can be eaten raw or cooked.

Not only that, the Mushroom Plant also makes for a great ornamental plant. Its bright purple flowers add colour and can brighten up any home!
