Snipe eel is the perfect name for that thing
Bunch of eels
what are your thoughts on the humble snipe eel?
NO THOUGHTS!!! ONLY EEL!!!
Snipe Eels (family Nemichthyidae, order Anguilliformes)
9 species, in 3 genera.
Found in every ocean, at depths of 300–4000 m (980–13,000 ft).
Maximum adult lengths of 77-130 cm, depending on species.
Feed on various shrimp and other shrimp-like crustaceans.
Not in the "true eel" family, but in the same order as true eels.
Species are visually very similar, and it is usually not possible to ID them to species or often genera using a photo.

Mermay days 25-27
Sea Cherub - Dumbo Octopus mermaids are playful yet wise. Often feigning ignorance to get a rise of people or teach them a lesson. Their wit and overall presence often make them important members in whatever group they decide to mingle in.
Learned Bookeel - Snipe eel mermaids are a very curious sort. They're good at navigation, ecology and calculating possibilities. Thus they make for good consultants or companions on expeditions to the wild.
Monster Conductor - Tripod fish mermaids are natural born conductors and tamers of monstrous fish. Feint glow and hum of their fins calms the beasts and brings them to their side to do their bidding.
The pixel artist Neorice (https://x.com/neoriceisgood) has made a huge collection of marine life. I emailed him a while back asking if I could upload some of my favourites to my tumblr blog (crediting him of course), and he said I could.
Hello!!! If you're looking for more fish suggestions, how about a snipe eel? (Nature's shoelace)
