Myrichthys colubrinus
Banded Snake Eel
This snake eel is often seen completely exposed in shallow water. It has a white body with brown to black bars and has an overhanging snout, with small pectoral fins. This snake eel is often mis-identified as a sea snake because of the banded color that is similar to the banded sea snake.
