Synchronized Sway — Spotted Garden Eel, Japan

Look at a calendar in Japan and you'll see dates set aside for many fish. November 11th (11/11) is reserved for the spotted garden eel, who, along with members of its colony, resemble many "ones" sticking out of the sea floor in the waters around the Kerama Islands in Okinawa Prefecture. Hunting for plankton while swaying in the current, these are fish full of mystery. We planted our cameras nearby hoping to discover how they move about and more importantly, how they spawn. The result? A world exclusive!
