Ribbon Eel - Female Yellow form

This is the female/yellow form of Ribbon Eel - Rhinomuraena quaesita. They are seldom seen unlike the Black form or Juveniles and Blue form of Males.

Interesting facts about Ribbon Eels :

All ribbon eels start off as male and are black with a yellow dorsal fin. As they mature, the male eels turn mostly bright blue with yellow accents around the mouth and on the dorsal fin. The changes don’t stop there. After the male’s body reaches a certain length, it begins to turn yellow and will develop female parts until it is able to lay eggs. You read that right: they’re (sequential) hermaphrodites.
