Spotted and Splendid Garden Eel

Garden eel has a slender and circular shape, they can grow up to 40 centimeters in length. This species has a characteristic pattern of white and yellow or orange bands. It is found in sandy areas, exposed to currents, at an average depth of 30 meters, where it feeds on drifting plankton.

The garden-eel lives buried inside a tube in the sand, typically, only its head and uppermost body protrude from the sand, and it will retreat quickly if it feels threatened. It may form large groups that truly resemble a beautifully planted garden of eels.

Yellow Leaf Scorpionfish
In the wild, the Yellow Leaf Scorpionfish will spend most of its time perched on a peace of coral or similar where unsuspecting prey will think it is a harmless leaf and venture close enough to become food. The spines of this fish are venomous and can deliver an unpleasant sting.
