  • Reminiscent of a dragon emerging from its lair, a male Ribbon Eel, Rhinomuraena quaesita, peers from a crevice. This species is a protandrous hermaphrodite, meaning that males change into females. Juveniles are black with yellow trim, adult males are neon blue w/ yellow; females, which are uncommon, are entirely yellow.  Lembeh Straight, N. Sulawesi, Indonesia, Pacific Ocean
