What are they?

These "sea creatures" are about 2 - 3 inches / 5 - 8 cm long and wiggle. They have the same patterns/colors as the crabs who crawl over the rocks. I tried Google and several apps but am unable to identify them. So if anybody knows....

We saw them yesterday at the little beach at Bandar Khairan. I have seen them before, but getting a clear photo of them is tricky. But now I have one, I will ask in the hike whats app group too...

I'm no expert, but could they be mud skippers?

[Dione Giorgio]

Very interesting find. Never seen them before.

I would think mud skippers too - the fish that walks on land! Gorgeous collection you found here.

[Susan Wakely]

My first thought was Eels but as said about could be mud skippers.

[Monique]

Never saw those before, very curious now ...

[Lou Ann]

Absolutely no idea. They are interesting little creatures.

@yorkshirekiwi @777margo @casablanca @wakelys I had never heard of mud skippers, but checking the internet I think you are right! Thank you very much!

@bkbinthecity @onewing @sangwann @momamo @louannwarren @dutchothotmailcom The ladies above said mud skippers and the internet confirmed that it are indeed mud skippers! Very interesting creatures who can live in water and out of the water!

Yikes - they are a bit scary - how awesome!
