Snowflake Moray Eel (Echidna nebulosa)

The Snowflake Moray Eel has a distinctive pattern of black splotches resembling snowflakes. It is a relatively small eel, typically up to 24 inches long. They live in the tropical Indo-Pacific region, among coral reefs and rock formations in warm summer waters.

The nocturnal Snowflake Moray Eel spends the day in reef crevices to avoid the sun. It is skilled enough to navigate its underwater labyrinth and hunt for food at night. Moreover, its long, flexible body allows it to probe into narrow corners and crevices, looking for small fish and crustaceans.

The Snowflake Moray Eel is peaceful when not on the hunt, attracting aquarium owners worldwide.
