Wikipedia Abstract

Gorgasia galzini (Galzin's garden eel or speckled garden eel) is a species of garden eel. This marine fish lives in the Pacific Ocean, where found at depths of 17–53 m (56–174 ft) from Guam and the Coral Sea to the Society Islands. It reaches 53 cm (21 in) in length. Like other garden eels, this species lives in groups in sandy areas. The eels peep outside and look like very thin stems emerging from the sand. When possible predators get close to them, they retreat and disappear in the sand.
