Bentjaw Moray

Found singly, with their head poking out of crevices and holes in the reef, over lagoons, coral and rocky reefs.
They feed nocturnally on crustaceans and fish.

Morays open and close their mouths to move water through their gills for respiration.
This behaviour can often be seen as a threat especially towards divers, in fact this is far from the truth, they are very shy creatures and will only attack if provoked!
