Is their any chance that the "spines" are the internal
bones or pieces of cartilage in the eel? I'm not
currently up on the anatomy of morays, except that
they have LOTS of teeth and if you are diving you need
to watch which holes you stick your hands into or
you'll lose a finger or more. But as fluid as these
creatures seem in the water, maybe the bones aren't
completely attached and they would "float" on down to
the tail... Just a stab in the dark. Like I said I'm
not really up on their anatomy.
