Description
The Plain Moray is a large, robust moray eel typically found in rocky reef environments of the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. It is characterized by its uniform dark coloration, which aids in camouflage as it ambushes prey. This species requires a very large aquarium with ample hiding spots.
