The long-nosed stargazer fish was spotted “along the northern shores of Singapore ” on April 26. - DENNIS CHAN/THE UNTAMED PATHS
Posted by The Untamed Paths, a group that conducts local wildlife tours, the video shows the fish with bulging eyes and pinpoint pupils staring up at the camera. Only its face protrudes from the sand in shallow water, and it then disappears from view by burrowing into the sandy surface. When contacted, fish expert Tan Heok Hui said: “It is not an ugly fish. In fact, it is the epitome of an ambush predator.”
These fish may have toxins, and also sport spines on their heads and gill covers, which can cause puncture wounds if mishandled, cautioned Dr Tan. Those injured by it should seek immediate medical assistance. According to the National Parks Board, the intertidal zone is the coastal area between the highest and lowest tide marks. It is submerged at high tide but dry and exposed to the air at low tide, and is filled with marine biodiversity, such as sea anemones, sea cucumbers, sea stars, crabs, snails and seagrass.
