From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The black garden eel (Heteroconger perissodon) is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels).[1][2] It was described by James Erwin Böhlke and John Ernest Randall in 1981.[3] It is a tropical, nonmigratory marine eel which is known from the western Pacific Ocean and eastern Indian Ocean, including Ambon (Indonesia), Negros (Philippines), and the Andaman Islands (India). It dwells at a depth range of 1–35 m.[1][2] It leads a benthic lifestyle, and inhabits sand or mud, living solitary or in colonies. Males can reach a maximum total length of 53.7 cm (21.1 in).[2]
