Kalinga ornata from Singapore

November 14, 2007
From: Samson Tan


I found this large specimen of Kalinga ornata during my inter-tidal walk on 11th November 2007. This specimen seems to be the biggest as compared to all the previous signting. Hope this info is helpful in knowing a little bit more about this species.

Locality: Changi Beach, Singapore, NA. at the inter-tidal area, Singapore, Singapore Strait, 11 November 2007, Intertidal area, sea grass lagoon. Length: 170 mm. Photographer: Samson Tan.

Dear Samson,

Thanks for this record. This is certainly a large specimen, and if it had been in water so it could fully extend, it would be even longer. We don't have many records of this species, which I suspect is because of its preferred habitat on soft bottoms - not the most favourite place for divers, or others looking for an abundance of spectacular animals.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
