Description
The Geometric Moray is a saltwater eel characterized by its pale body adorned with distinctive black dots and lines, forming a unique geometric pattern. It is a nocturnal predator that requires ample rockwork for hiding and a secure lid to prevent escapes. This species is best kept in a FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) aquarium.
