Short description

 

 

 

   

   With Giant moray (Gymnothorax javanicus) along the reef Gardens Bay. The camouflage coloration of adult giant moray eels resembles that of a leopard. The head, upper body and fins are yellow-brown with numerous small black spots of varying sizes. The abdominal part remains without a pattern. The huge mouth is lined with sharp fang-like teeth, which are located on two pairs of jaws - the second pair is located deep in the throat, but is capable of extending to grab prey and drag it into the esophagus.
