Striped Eel Catfish


The striped eel catfish, seen here in Malaysian waters, is the only catfish found on coral reefs—though these fish also swim in estuaries, tide pools, and open coastal waters across the Indo-Pacific. Each striped eel catfish is armed with venomous spines on its dorsal and pectoral fins that can deliver a very painful sting—though one rarely fatal to humans.
