This is a video of a rarely scenemoray eel larva swimming around and doing its thing prior to finding a quiet, private spot in the shallows to finish metamorphosing into a young, non-transparent juvenile eel. I had no idea moray eel larva were so clear. I also had no idea there are over 200 species of moray eels spread across 15 different genera, I thought there was just the one species. It just goes to show, you learn something new every day. Granted what we learned today wasn’t important, but it was interesting. And that’s my favorite kind of thing to learn, because if you forget it, it’s no big deal. It’s not like where you left your car keys or the kids you were babysitting.
Keep going for the video of Ursula’s future little bitch.
