Description
The Emma's Moray is a medium-sized marine eel characterized by its brown body with irregular darker blotches and spots. It is a nocturnal predator that typically hides in rock crevices or burrows during the day, emerging to hunt fish and crustaceans. This species requires a well-established saltwater aquarium with ample hiding spots and secure lid.
