Info
Gorgasia hawaiiensis is a benthic species that, like other tube eels, is found over soft sediments (mud/sand) where it remains half buried during the day with the head and part of the body protruding to feed on zooplankton.
In the evening, they are usually fully burrowed or retracted into their tube for protection against nocturnal predators.
This species occurs in very large numbers at the sites of occurrence.
