This particular day, January 5th, 2011, was an outstanding day for eel pixtures.
This is a Chain Moray.
Named for the colorings on their body.... that are thought to resemble the links of a chain.
The Chain Moray is one of very few marine eels that can survive for some time out of water.
It will forage over wet rocks for up to 30 minutes at a time during low tide. As long as it remains wet, it can absorb some oxygen through it's skin.
