I was snorkeling recently when I saw this Dwarf Moray Eel hunting with a small Saddle Wrasse. It promptly disappeared under a rock and I didn’t expect to see it again. But I was in no hurry, so moved away a bit and kept watch. After a while the eel poked its head out, hesitated, then swam out.
I snapped these two photos, the first as it emerged and the second as it disappeared again. I like how, in the top photo, the eel oozes out of a hole no bigger around than it is, which is less than an inch! These small eels typically are less than a foot long.

Wonderful photos and a sighting 🙂

It’s been a while since I saw one. They’re not often seen, in part because they’re shy and in part because they’re pretty small.

And I was only puttering around in the shallows because my snorkel mask was on the verge of falling apart!

Actually, it wasn’t leaking, but the strap’s connection was on the verge of permanently detaching. I have a new mask now so all is good.
