Starry Moray

Found singly, hiding in crevices of corals and rocks, over intertidal reef flats, of shallow lagoons and seaward reefs.
They feed nocturnally on crustaceans.
Widespread Southeast Atlantic, Eastern Central Pacific, Indo Pacific

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!
