Description
The Latticetail Moray is a medium-sized moray eel characterized by its mottled brown body, providing excellent camouflage among rocks and coral. It is a nocturnal predator, spending its days hidden in crevices and emerging at night to hunt for small fish and crustaceans. This species requires a large, well-established saltwater aquarium with ample hiding places.
