Blue ribbon eel Profile

The Blue ribbon eel, also known as the Black ribbon eel (Rhinomuraena quaesita), is characterized by its striking coloration and elongated body, resembling a ribbon. Juveniles and males are predominantly black with a yellow dorsal fin, while adult males transition to a vivid blue with the same yellow accents. This species is native to the Indo-Pacific region. The eel’s slender body and unique coloration make it a visually captivating species. Despite its appeal, it is not commonly found in the aquarium trade due to its specific care requirements and difficulty in acclimatization to captive conditions.
