Amazing video. I've been glued to their live stream for the past two hours!

Gulper Eel Balloons Its Massive Jaws

Big gulp! The Nautilus team spotted a gulper eel (Eurypharynx pelecanoides) doing just that in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. Its pouch-like mouth can inflate in an instant, scooping up much larger prey just like a pelican--and giving it that muppet-like look! This gulper eel was likely a juvenile, as this species can grow up to three feet in length.
 
Soo.... not reef friendly then? Lol. At least not fish friendly with all that mouth!
