White Ribbon Eel

Found singly, in reef crevices, or buried in rubble and sandy areas with just the head showing, over shallow, reef flats and lagoons.
They feed nocturnally on crustaceans.

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!
