Description
The Flores Reef Moray is a predatory marine eel characterized by its dark body covered in distinct yellow or white spots. Native to the Indo-Pacific, it requires a large, well-established saltwater aquarium with ample hiding spots. This species is a carnivore and can be aggressive towards smaller tankmates, making careful selection of companions essential.
