Notacanthus chemnitzii, or the Snub-nosed spiny eel, is a member of the family Notacanthidae, the deep-sea spiny eels, which are not true eels (Anguilliformes). The snub-nosed spiny eel exists in waters all over the world, except in the tropics[1], ranging in color from light tan to bluish grey in small ones to dark brown in large ones.[1] Its primary food is sea anemones.[1] The eel usually lives in deep waters, mostly more than 200 meters below the surface.[1]
