Common name: Garden Eel

Heteroconger, commonly known as Garden Eels, are a genus of conger eels found in warm ocean waters. They are characterized by their long, slender bodies and habit of living in colonies, where they burrow into sandy substrates. These eels are fascinating to observe as they sway with the current, protruding from their burrows to feed on zooplankton. In the aquarium, they require a deep sand bed to mimic their natural habitat and are best suited for larger, species-specific setups due to their unique care requirements. Garden Eels are generally peaceful and can be shy, making them a captivating but challenging addition to the home aquarium.
