Clouded Moray

Echidna nebulosa

Description:

Clouded Moray Eel, also known as the Snowflake Moray, peeping out of a coral head. Morays look menacing as they open and close their mouths, but really they are just pushing water over their gills.

Habitat:

Under a table coral.

Notes:

Morays are a Family of eels whose dorsal fins extend from just behind the head along the back and joins seamlessly with the caudal and anal fins. Most species lack pectoral and pelvic fins.
