    And lays millions of eggs. If all of those would survive, we should rename our planet to "Eel". Posted 5 years ago

    I have never seen one so big and heavy!...the ones I have seen so far in Spain in the Mediterranean side are smaller than that but the big specimens can be seen in the fish shops as they are edible :-) Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

Very beautiful, the blue in contrast with the other colours. Love how they peek out from their holes. Those facial tubes are fascinating - to do with smell? Posted 5 years ago
