| Nemichthys scolopaceus Richardson, 1848 |
The slender snipe eel, Nemichthys scolopaceus, is a fish that can weigh a few ounces, even though it can reach 5 feet or 1.5 m in length. Features include a bird-like beak with curving tips, covered with tiny hooked teeth, which they use to sweep through the water to catch shrimp.
