🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠
Pinnate Batfish adults are normally solitary but will gather in large schools to move over open substrates. The juveniles are mimics of a toxic species of flatworm by colour and shape. They feed on algae as well as jellyfish and other gelatinous zooplankton. This species has been observed to significantly reduce algal growths on coral in studies simulating the effects of overfishing on the Great Barrier Reef.

Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate
the MORAY EEL:

8/10 Chunk
10/10 Gunk
8/10 Funk
It’s been a long time coming, and anyone who’s been following this blog for any amount of time is well aware of my obsession with these funny wiggly boys.
Moray eels. My beloveds. Look at that girth, high chunk. The slime layer that makes it so that I cannot hug them without a proper wetsuit or fabric layer, absolute gunk. The big squishable cheeks, the weird sticky-out-y tube nostrils, the two mouths, incredibly funky.
Overall: 10/10
Everyone has a selfish dream of what they would do if they won the lottery. Mine is simple: buy a giant saltwater tank and fill it with 3 giant moray eels. (Preferably of different colors/patterns so I can tell them apart)
Everyone also has a dream of channeling their inner Disney Princess with a wild animal: I want to hug a moray eel.

It was my birthday on the 18th, so as a gift to myself, I rate my beloveds.

How feared was Cap'n Quillback in his day? He had poisonous quills embedded in his back—imagine that character pulling up to your schooner and you'd drop your gold, too.

Long ago, I promised you wonderful gunkers that I would share some of my silly moray eel memes, and finally,
That day has come.
I hope that you enjoy the fruits of my eel hyperfixation (=´∀`)
