The Maimed snake eel (Muraenichthys schultzei, also known as the Aimed snake eel, the Bleeker's worm-eel, or the Schultz's worm eel[1]) is an eel in the family Ophichthidae (worm/snake eels).[2] It was described by Pieter Bleeker in 1857.[3] It is a marine, tropical eel which is known from the Indo-Pacific, including the Red Sea, East Africa, Samoa, the Ryukyu Islands, Australia, and Micronesia. It dwells at a depth range of {{convert|1|to|13|m|ft}}, and inhabits coral reefs and lagoons, where it forms burrows in soft benthic sediments. Males can reach a maximum total length of {{convert|24|cm|in}}, but more commonly reach a TL of {{convert|8|cm|in}}.[2]

The Maimed snake eel is of minor commercial interest to fisheries. It is usually bagged, netted or dug out, and sold for shark bait.[2]
