Topic: Sharp-nosed, broad-nosed and snig eel

Hi Chris

Can we have added sharp-nosed, broad-nosed and snig eels?

Anguilla mediorostris Risso, 1827  (The Snig)
Anguilla latirostris Risso, 1827 (The Broad-nosed Eel)
Anguilla acutirostris Risso, 1827 (The Sharp-nosed Eel)

All synonyms of Anguilla anguilla (Linnaeus, 1758) (I won't ask for the rest, we only have records for those 3!)

All added. I don't normally like to add synonyms but it looks like there has been some significant lumping going on so it's worth having the older synonyms just in case a re-split occurs.
