Description
The Snowflake Moray is a striking saltwater eel known for its distinctive black and yellow mottled pattern. It is a nocturnal predator that primarily feeds on crustaceans and small fish in the wild. While generally docile towards humans, it requires a secure, well-established aquarium with plenty of hiding places.
