Splendid Garden Eel

Splendid Garden Eel

The Splendid Garden Eel from Fiji is also called the Orange-barred Garden Eel. Like all garden eels, the Splendid Eel is 100% reef safe. These eels face the current and feed on passing zooplankton.  The garden eel will always keep a part of its body inside the burrow even when feeding. In the wild triggerfish are known for digging out garden eels right out of their burrow in pursuit of a meal.
