Taylor's garden-eel (Heteroconger taylori) is a heteroconger (genus of marine congrid eels) belonging to the family Congridae. It is a small fish that can reach a maximum length of 48 cm. The species is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the western central Indo-Pacific from the Philippines to Papua-New-Guinea and Indonesia. It lives solitary or in small colonies on sandy bottoms in burrows, at depths between 5 and 15 meters.

Spotted garden eels burrow into the sandy sea bottom to make their home. They make their body rigid by tightening their muscles and then drive their pointy tail deep into the sand. When they get deep enough, they wiggle their dorsal fin which pushes the sand out. Then they secrete slime from their skin to cement the burrow walls. They will escape predators by diving tail-first into the burrow. They will extend part of their body out of their burrow when there are no signs of danger and to eat. Each eel lives in a single burrow, which they rarely leave. During mating season, the male becomes defensive of the female, protecting her from other males.
