- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Muraenidae

- Location & Habitat: The moray eel is a large species of eel found in warm and temperate waters all around the world. Despite their snake-like appearance, moray eels (along with other eel species) are in fact fish and not reptiles. Moray eels are found in both deep and shallow waters in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Although moray eels can be find in cooler waters occasionally, they tend to remain in the crevices deep in the ocean rather than venturing into shore. The largest populations of moray eels are found around tropical coral reefs where they are numerous different marine species found in large numbers.
- Biology: There are around 200 different species of moray eel than can range in size from just 10 cm long to nearly 2 meters in length. Despite their varying size and color all moray eels are fairly similar in appearance with an elongated body, slightly flattened towards the tail. Moray eels also have large eyes and mouths which contain large teeth. The moray eel is a relatively secretive animal, spending much of its time hiding in holes and crevices amongst the rocks and coral on the ocean floor. By spending the majority of their time hiding, moray eels are able to remain out of sight from predators and are also able to ambush any unsuspecting prey that passes.
- Physical Description: The Moray Eel has a long body and a very long snout. They have two sets of jaws and teeth – one that you can see and one that is in their throat. Those that are in the throat allow them to break up food and to digest it. Moray eels are the only known animal in the world that has such a design. They range in color depending on the species and location. Most of them are dark colors to blend well in murky waters. They can be black, brown, gray, and olive green. They can have various markings on them too such as stripes or spots. They are very fast swimmers and they are able to use very little energy in such movements. They don’t move like fish in the water but rather like snakes in their side to side movements.
