Transparent Fish




Amazing! didn't know that such a fish exist!!




To those who go diving, have you ever seen such a beautiful creation of God ?

Try to view it on HD setting, it's eerily beautiful.

This large size leptocephalus must be a species of Muraenidae (moray eels), and probably the larva of a long thin ribbon eel, which is metamorphosing, not feeding, and is entering shallow water to finish metamorphosis into a young eel.

Leptocephali are the unusual transparent larvae of eels and their close relatives. Because they are transparent they are so hard to spot and are hardly ever sighted. We were fortunate enough to see one of them!!
