An Osmotic eel is a small aquatic life-form resembling a starfish, which is some times used for it's leech-like abilities suck fluids from humanoids

Doctor Phlox kept an osmotic eel aboard during his assignment to Enterprise, and it could often be seen in sickbay in a container of water. During their first mission, it was used to cauterize Captain Archer's leg wound in April 2151. (ENT: "Broken Bow").

Doctor Phlox's osmotic eel was a female, and he offered to give her to E'lis, a doctor on an deuterium mining colony in 2152, but she joked she wouldn't know what to feed her. Phlox then explained to E'lis that the eels feeding needs are relatively modest, as it only requires a nutrient broth every 3 or 4 days. He further noted that while they were working, they required their nutrient broth even less, as they usually injested a little blood while healing an injured artery. (ENT: "Marauders")

Later in 2154, she was later used to cure Hoshi Sato after Xindi-Reptilians put a neural parasite in her to extract information. (ENT: "Countdown")
