Crocodile snake eel

Crocodile snake eel

Attached to: Diving Tawi-Tawi

I also saw a crocodile snake eel at Babusanta Beach during a previous dive, and then again at the Kubbung dive site in Tawi-Tawi. It backs into the sand tail first when disturbed. Picture shows a juvenile eel.

Thanks to WhatsThatFish.com for helping me identify this critter!
