Apparently its a very rare type of goby that goes from fresh to salt water at will. I wonder if that makes it look so fugly?

Man, that's nuts!! Eel goby is super weird looking!

About the garden eel: How long have you kept him? They are so cool.

You can always grab one of those violet eel goby from walmart for 5 bucks. At least they look nicer than that thing, haha.
