New Species of Moray Eel discovered in the Red Sea
This species was discovered by Shai Einbinder during a fish course that was taking place at the Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences of Eilat (IUI). The specimen was fished from 200m depth near the edge of the deep coral reef. It was described by Shai and Eran Brokovich of the IUI, with the help of the fish taxonomist David Smith from the Smithsonian in Washington DC.

They named the eel Gymnothorax Baranesi in tribute to Dr. Avi Baranes, one of the few people who have dedicated their career to research of the deep bottom of the Gulf of Aqaba, and described, together with Dr. Dani Golani (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) many new species of fish.

- Eels both scare and fasciinate me, and this one is really pretty cool - from the look of the specimin, it is blind, which would imply that it uses its other senses to hunt for prey. This is what I love about Marine Biology - there is so much variety beneath the waves, most of which is totally undiscovered.

- That has got to be the ugliest eel I've ever seen.
