Snowflake Eel

Snowflake Eel

(Echidna nebulosa)

One of the most popular marine eels, featuring a cream-colored body covered in black and yellow "snowflake" markings. Hardy, personable, and surprisingly adaptable, Snowflake Eels quickly learn feeding routines and often become the centerpiece of a fish-only or predator aquarium. Unlike many moray eels, they primarily crush crustaceans rather than actively hunting fish.
