Moray Eel

Family Muraenidae

REMARKS Maximum length 130 cm. Of varying colours, but always distinctively mottled (e.g. off-white on dark brown). They have a dangerous bite and are both cunning and greedy. According to Euzière some fishermen believe that the moray likes to live near an octopus, of which when other food fails he will eat a tentacle, knowing that it will grow again.
