It's time once again for #TeamFish’s #1 #SciComm game #EelOrNoEel where you try to guess if the creature I share is a true #Eel in the order #Anguilliformes or just a sneaky #NoEel imposter. Tweet your guess and I will revEEL the identity of this eely critter in 24 hours

Further study reveled this asymmetry was also internal and suggests these fishes probably lived primarily on their side like flatfishes. Thus this appears to be the first non-flatfish species known to have a completely blind, colorless side. #EelOrNoEel

Compared to living coelacanths #Holopterygius_nudus was tiny, just 7 cm long, and reminds us that coelacanths were morphologically much more diverse in the past and were experimenting with an eel lifestyle long before true eels evolved hundreds of million years later. #EelOrNoEel

OK, all you exceptional eels & elvers, it's time for the #EelOrNoEel revEEL. This week's featured creature is a sneaky #NoEel imposter or what I like to call a coEELacanth. Meet #Holopterygius_nudus, an eel-like coelacanth that lived in the mid-Devonian ~385 million years ago.
