Orange Banded Garden Eel

Gorgasia preclara

Reef Safe

The Orange Banded Garden Eel is a striking marine fish known for its elongated body adorned with vibrant orange and white bands. These eels are reef safe and are often found partially buried in sandy substrates, with only their upper bodies visible as they sway gently in the water to feed on plankton. They thrive in peaceful community tanks with deep, soft sandy bottoms, which allow them to create secure burrows. The Orange Banded Garden Eel requires a stable, well-established aquarium environment with gentle water flow to exhibit its natural behavior, making it an intriguing and beautiful addition for experienced aquarists.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
