Field Notes

Description:

When spotted from far the garden eels resemble standing grass, which is where they get their name from. They can be spotted on sandy patches adjacent to coral reefs in medium depths.

They are pretty cool! And quite difficult to get a decent shot of.. especially without strobes!
