Eels & Morays

Serpentine ambush predators

Fascinating serpentine fish that hide in rockwork caves and crevices during the day, emerging at night to hunt. Moray eels range from nano-suitable species like the Snowflake Moray to large, powerful predators. Most eels are NOT reef-safe with small fish or invertebrates but are compatible with corals.
