Description
The Whitespotted Conger is a large, predatory marine eel native to the Western Pacific. It is characterized by its elongated body and small white spots, often found burrowed in sandy or muddy substrates during the day. This nocturnal hunter requires a very spacious, mature saltwater aquarium with plenty of hiding spots.
