Eels (Morays, Congers, and Kin) [Anguilliformes]

Description

Anguilliformes include many eel types that divers recognize by their long, flexible bodies and sinuous movement. You might see them peeking from crevices, gliding over sandy bottoms, or weaving through rocky habitat with a stealthy, almost “snake-like” motion.
