Spotted Garden Eel

It occurs in the tropical Indian Ocean - Pacific waters of the Red Sea, from East Africa to Japan, from North and South Australia to New Caledonia, and throughout Micronesia.

It is seen along the slope and bottom of the strong diagonal flow and has a depth of 23 to 164 feet (7 - 50 meters)

I live in a sandbox, it first dig a tail. Then, the squid in the garden paints mucus on the wall of the sand so as to stick the sand so that the sand does not collapse.

There is a white body densely covered with small black spots. Three large black spots are visible along the sides of the body. One is in the opening of the jaw, one near the pectoral fin and one on the base of the tail.

14 to 16 inches (35 to 40 cm) is more common, but the length may be as long as about 24 inches (60 cm).

The meal consists of zooplankton. For this reason, all the catfish in the colony usually face the same direction.

Men show protective behavior to female partners and keep other competitors away. It may chew the competition

After the eggs hatch, the larvae will continue to float until the size threshold is reached. At that time, a young squid will dig into his own cave.

Each occupies his own cave, living in a place where hundreds of people gather, with 15 living creatures per square meter. Usually, the biggest man lives in the central cave.

The most common is that a quarter of the body protrudes from the cave, swaying like seaweed in the ocean current to eat plankton.

Spotted garden squid (Gorgasia sp) is actually slender fish with a length of 40 to 60 cm. It is widely distributed in the subtropical and tropical waters of the Indian Ocean - other warm areas including the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, and is about 45 meters deep, living only in the sandy environment. Squid occurs in dozens of colonies of hundreds of people, each of which dig up its own cave, and one-third of the body appears in drifting to capture food. The head of the squid that "grows" from the bottom of the ocean is named after the garden's exquisite plants. Squid rarely leaves the cave and you can keep in touch with merely bringing the cave closer to you during breeding season. In the spotted garden carp body there are three noticeable black spots; around scorpions and pectoral fins, half of the body, and third around the anus. (Milne Bay, taken in Papua New Guinea)

In the wild, the squid of the garden lives in a colony that can contain thousands of people. Each squid has its own speckle and digs its own hole - they look like plants germinating from the seabed, hence the name. This is a problem of nurturing plankton. In fact, these animals rarely leave the cave and are easily scared and difficult to capture. It is very effective for them, but for us, the human landscape looks absolutely surreal. Is this a nightmare? Are these actually enlarged hair? Indeed, if you do not know if this is a real camera lens, I would like to say that it was all computer generated, but that is not the case. Nature is wonderful!

Mandy's Eel Garden near West Bay's Roatan Resort is conveniently located along the coast and is a perfect diving spot for beginners. As the name suggests, several squids call this area home. Mandy's squid garden is also known for frequent appearance of octopus, turtle, fish and barracuda. Because of shallows, coral reefs are one of the brightest and colorful places on Roatan. Odyssey is another shipwreck intentionally submerged. It is over 300 feet in length and is one of the largest shipwrecks of Rodin and one of Caribbean's largest shipwrecks. Since the wrecked ship remains unused, diving certification of the shipwreck is necessary, but there is a hole on the side of the ship for experienced divers to enter.
