Description
The Drab Moray is a medium-sized marine eel known for its often uniform greyish-brown coloration, sometimes with subtle patterns. It is a nocturnal predator that spends its days hidden in rockwork and crevices, emerging at night to hunt fish and crustaceans. Due to its predatory nature and size, it requires a large, well-established marine aquarium.
