Best of Mike #178

My heart did a little skip and jump.... the first time I saw one of these underwater.

I was thinking sea snake and that had to be all bad.... at least it always was in the Tarzan movies.

But as it turns out, I was diving in the Caribbean.... and sea snakes live only in the Pacific.

So what I was really looking at was.... a Sharptail Eel.

They are most commonly encountered swimming near the bottom, in clear water.... and can be found, anywhere from harbors to reefs.
