Spotted Heteroconger hassi and orange-barred Gorgasia preclara at the Lisbon 'Oceanário'
"These small eels live in burrows on the sea floor and get their name from their practice of poking their heads from their burrows while most of their bodies remain hidden. Since they tend to live in groups, the many eel heads "growing" from the sea floor resemble the plants in a garden." (Wikipedia)

They actually look rather cute. :)
What a strange sight! Never saw such curiosity before ;-)
I have to admit I have never seen these before. ;)
I find this really creepy! ;-))
Amazing!! Always fun to start the day seeing something I've never seen or even heard of before!! I love it!! Thanks so much for sharing this, Jose!! I hope you have a great new week!!
Sure fooled me. I thought they were decorative sticks stuck in the sand in a garden area. Don't much like eels, though! :) Hope you've had a great Sunday!
There are all kinds of strange creatures at the bottom of the sea.
I would not want to walk on this sea bottom.
Weird and interesting😊
Very strange critters!
Magical shot, well done. Diane
Wow--- I've never seen these guys before. Great shot.
My sister has been in the Lisbon Oceanarium and has brought back a lot of unusual looking images like this one.

Oh, my! These are very unusual.
Nature is full of never ending weirdness. This is quite a good example.
So eerie and pretty! I'd love to see them moving.
Everything is online.
