Eels & garden eels
From conger eels lurking in wreck compartments to garden eels swaying in sandy colonies, this group offers variety at every depth. Garden eel fields are hypnotic — approach low and slow, or they'll vanish into the sand.

A massive, powerful eel — uniform grey to dark brown, with a large head and wide mouth. Much bigger and heavier-bodied than a moray, reaching over 2 meters.
Found in caves, wrecks, and deep crevices with just its head protruding — often shares shelter with lobsters and other cave dwellers.
