Oh, I have a confession to make. During my long vacation last year, I was extremely tempted to make a trip to Chek Jawa to see if I could collect several suitable items for a small invertebrate tank that I was planning. Well, I know the difficulties and risks involved. It was a only thought which I abandoned eventually. My first experience in keeping marine creatures dates back to 1984 with specimens caught from the Sentosa lagoon. I was a secondary school student at that time. The specimens, including filefish, seahorses, damsels, gobies and hermit crabs, were given to me by several workers who were cleaning up the lagoon.
