Spotted garden eel — size comparison — facts and sources

The spotted garden eel lives in sandy Indo-Pacific areas. Spots cover its very thin, elongated body. Its rear usually remains in a burrow while the front projects above the seabed.

It catches zooplankton carried by flowing water. Anchoring in sand lets it feed in currents without swimming constantly. When disturbed it withdraws the visible portion into the burrow.
