Spotted Moray

Found singly, over coral, rock, and grassy areas, of shallow murky bays, harbours, and coral reefs.
They feed nocturnally on benthic crustaceans and fish.
Can bite if divers come too close.

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!
