The Splendid Garden Eel (Gorgasia preclara) is a type of marine fish that lives in the Pacific Ocean. They grow up to 33 cm.

The Splendid Garden Eel is also called Orangebarred Garden Eel. It exists in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean from Maldives to New Guinea, south to Ryukyus and north through the Philippines where sandy, flat reefs are their favourite spots. It requires a very deep sandy substrate (20 – 37 cm in depth) to avoid damage to its tail, as it likes to retreat fully into its burrow if disturbed. It can grow up to 40 cm. Its natural diet consists mainly of plankton.
