I was in the ocean today at Crescent Beach in B.C. when I saw, what I assume was, an eel. It was only 10 feet or so from the shore and swam right passed me. I have searched all the photos I can find on-line and so far none of them come close to what I saw.
It was covered in bright blue scales and had red-ish coloured legs. It was about one and a half feet long and quite frankly, it looked like a bright blue centipede. I saw no facial features of any kind and it had a tail that had two small elongated fin-like tips.
If someone can shed some light on this, please do so. Thanks a lot!
