Highfin snake eel — size comparison — facts and sources

The highfin snake eel has a strongly elongated body and lives near sandy or muddy substrates in the Indo-Pacific. Its outline suits movement near the bottom and use of soft sediment for cover.

It eats cephalopods, crustaceans and small fish. Feeding involves bottom-associated animals rather than prolonged pursuit of schools in the open ocean.
