The Vulture sand eel (Ichthyapus vulturis, also known as the Vulture eel[2]) is an eel in the family Ophichthidae (worm/snake eels).[3] It was described by Max Carl Wilhelm Weber and Lieven Ferdinand de Beaufort in 1916, originally under the genus Sphagebranchus.[4] It is a marine, tropical eel which is known from the Indo-Pacific, including Mascarenes, Pitcairn, Japan, Australia, Micronesia, and Easter Island. It dwells in inshore waters at a depth range of 2 to 18 metres (6.6 to 59.1 ft), and forms burrows in soft, sandy sediments.[3]
The Vulture sand eel's diet consists of bony fish.[5]
