Description
The Dragon Moray is a striking and highly predatory saltwater eel known for its vibrant coloration of yellow, white, orange, and black spots, along with distinctive horn-like appendages above its eyes. Reaching up to three feet in length, it requires a large, mature aquarium with ample hiding spots. This species is a formidable hunter, primarily feeding on fish and crustaceans.
