Genus

Common name: Zebra Moray Eel

Scientific name: Gymnomuraena

Gymnomuraena is a genus of moray eel known for its distinctive zebra-like striping and relatively docile nature. These eels are a favorite among aquarists for their unique appearance and behavior. They are nocturnal predators, feeding primarily on crustaceans and mollusks. In captivity, they require a large tank with plenty of hiding spaces and a secure lid to prevent escape. Their peaceful temperament makes them suitable for community tanks with larger fish species that are not small enough to be considered prey.
