The Hawaiian garden eel[1] (Gorgasia hawaiiensis) is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels).[2] It was described by John Ernest Randall and James Robert Chess in 1980.[3] It is a marine, tropical eel which is known from the Hawaiian archipelago (from which its species epithet is derived), in the eastern central Pacific Ocean. It is non-migratory, and is thought to be restricted to the region. It dwells at a depth range of Шаблон:Convert, and leads a benthic life, forming burrows in sand. Males can reach a maximum standard length of Шаблон:Convert.[2]

This eel appears during sunrise and returns to its burrow around sunset, making it a diurnal animal. Although burrows of this eel are more abundant in shallow water, larger burrows belonging to this eel can be found in deeper water.[4]

The Hawaiian garden eel's diet consists of zoobenthos.[5]
