Common name: Moray Eels

Muraenidae, commonly known as moray eels, are a family of eels found in both tropical and temperate seas. They are known for their elongated bodies, lack of pectoral fins, and a distinctive jaw mechanism that allows them to lock onto prey. Moray eels are often found hiding in crevices and rock formations within the reef. They can be a fascinating addition to larger marine aquariums, but their aggressive nature and potential size must be considered. They form symbiotic relationships with cleaner shrimp and cleaner fish, which remove parasites from their skin.
