華麗花園鰻

Splendid Garden Eel

Gorgasia preclara

簡介

身上帶著鮮豔的橘白相間條紋，像是一根根種在沙子裡會隨波搖擺的彩色吸管。

Looks like a field of colorful candy canes planted in the sand. Swaying gently in the current until you get too close—then they vanish!

群居動物，常成百上千隻在沙地上探出半個身子吃浮游生物。膽子極小，潛水員一靠近就會像縮頭烏龜一樣全部縮回洞裡。

They live in massive colonies, anchoring their tails in the sand. They secrete a mucus to stabilize their burrows so they don't collapse on them.

尚無潛點紀錄。
