Natural environment
The spotted garden eel lives in colonies of several dozen to several hundreds, on sandy slopes exposed to currents, ranging from 7 to 45 m in depth.
Biology
They usually position themselves vertically above the bottom, with their tails inside the burrows that they dig and where they hide in case of danger. Sticking out of their burrows, they sway with the current, searching for food. Their diet is comprised of plankton.
