Description
The Australian Green Moray is a large, robust moray eel native to the temperate waters of southern Australia and New Zealand. It typically exhibits a yellowish-green to brown coloration, allowing it to blend into its rocky reef habitat. This nocturnal predator is known for its powerful jaws and can grow to an impressive size, requiring a very large and secure aquarium.
