}} The saddled snake-eel (Leiuranus semicinctus, also known commonly as the halfbanded snake-eel, the banded snake eel, or the culverin[2]) is an eel in the family Ophichthidae (worm/snake eels).[3] It was described by George Tradescant Lay and Edward Turner Bennett in 1839, originally under the genus Ophisurus.[4] It is a marine, tropical eel which is known from the Indo-Pacific and southeastern Atlantic Ocean, including East and South Africa, the Hawaiian Islands, the Marquesan Islands, the Mangaréva islands, Japan, and Australia. It dwells at a depth range of {{convert|0|to|70|m|ft}}, most often around {{convert|0|to|10|m|ft}}, and inhabits lagoons and reefs, in which it forms burrows in beds of seagrass and sandy areas. Males can reach a maximum total length of {{convert|66|cm|ft}}.[3] The saddled snake-eel's diet consists of fish, crabs, prawns,[3] and worms including Ptychodera.[5] Males and females rise to the surface of the water during spawning.[6] References1. ^Synonyms of Leiuranus semicinctus at www.fishbase.org. {{Taxonbar|from=Q2864793}}{{Anguilliformes-stub}}2. ^Common names of Leiuranus semicinctus at www.fishbase.org. 3. ^1 2 Leiuranus semicinctus at www.fishbase.org. 4. ^Lay, G.
