Bicolor false moray

provided by wikipedia EN

The bicolor false moray[2] (Chlopsis bicollaris) is an eel in the family Chlopsidae.[3] It was described by George S. Myers and Charles Barkley Wade in 1941, originally under the genus Garmanichthys.[4] It is a tropical, marine eel which is known from around the Galapagos Islands in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. Males are known to reach a maximum total length of 20 cm.[3]

Due to the species' endemicity to the Galapagos Islands and its 1200-km2-area of occupancy, the IUCN redlist currently lists the bicolor false moray as Near Threatened.[5]
