Marbled Electric Eel [Torpedo sinuspersici]
Description
This species is a master of camouflage, typically appearing as a patterned, eel-like body that blends into the sand. Divers might spot it partially buried or moving in short, deliberate bursts along the bottom, its marbled look becoming clearer as it shifts.
