Description
The Green Moray is a large, robust eel known for its distinctive green coloration, which is actually a yellow mucus layer covering a dark body. These nocturnal predators are often found hiding in rock crevices and caves during the day, emerging at night to hunt. They require a very large aquarium with ample hiding spots.
