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. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange sight! Never saw such curiosity before ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I have never seen these before. ;)
ReplyDeleteI find this really creepy! ;-))
ReplyDeleteAmazing!! 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!!
ReplyDeleteSure 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!
ReplyDeleteThere are all kinds of strange creatures at the bottom of the sea.
