eel-egant hunter @ hantu


Eel-egant hunter @ Hantu from BeachBum on Vimeo.
This was shot on Pulau Hantu, Singapore.
(more on Pulau Hantu here http://www.wildsingapore.com/places/hantu.htm)
It could be an eel blenny {http://www.wildsingapore.com/chekjawa/text/c212.htm} or a green worm eel.{http://habitatnews.nus.edu.sg/guidebooks/marinefish/text/213.htm}
I'm not sure. It was not green at all but a pale white in colour.About 8cm in length.

It was actively looking for food and was busy poking it's snout into every hole.
Eventually, it found a tiny hole in the sand and disappeared into it without re-appearing. Maybe it found another way out or got eaten by something else!
