Have you ever wondered where a ribbon eel gets its name from? Well, now you know :)All ribbon eels are born male, and can change sex once in their life. An adult male is blue with a yellow dorsal fin, like the one in the video. When it becomes necessary for the survival of the species in the area, the male ribbon eel will become female, and change its color to yellow in the process.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀After it becomes female, it will lay eggs and die within a month :( That's why it's pretty rare to come across a female ribbon eel.Ribbon eels are mostly found in a hole with only their heads sticking out. They can stay in the same hole for years, so to see one swimming around like this is a special treat. | Liquid Dumaguete
