Also known as Snake Eels and Sharptail Snake Eel.
Found singly over seagrass areas and rocky rubble reefs, usually hiding during the day but occasionally emerges to feed both day and night.
They feed on fish and invertebrates.
Length - 1m
Depth - 1-15m
Widespread Western Atlantic & Caribbean
Snake Eels resemble snakes or worms because they have virtually no fins. Their pointed snouts and tails allow them to burrow beneath the sand.
They can usually be found with just their head showing above the sand waiting for their prey, a few species prowl around the sands at night. Some mimic banded sea snakes and can be found in the open during the day.
