Description
The Ghost Moray is a reddish-brown eel characterized by its pale, almost white, margins along the dorsal and anal fins. It is a nocturnal predator that inhabits rocky and coral reef environments throughout the Indo-Pacific. While considered one of the more docile moray species, it will readily consume smaller fish and crustaceans.
