The Ribbon Eel, or Ribbon Moray Eel, has unique characteristics include a long "ribbon-like" body, delicate jaws, and tubular anterior nostrils capped with an elaborate fan-like expansion.
The colors of this eel can vary dramatically as it grows in length. The juvenile is jet-black with a yellow dorsal fin. When it reaches 25-32 inches in length, it transforms itself into a male and will become a bright blue with a yellow snout and lower jaw. As it grows and reaches a length of 33 or more inches, it will transform into a female and become entirely yellow or yellow-blue.
