Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Adults inhabit deep waters but rises to the surface at night. Rare species (Ref. 559). They live in tubes in fine sand or mud and rise to the surface at night where they fall prey to pelagic fishes (Ref. 37816). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
