A honeycomb moray eel, Gymnothorax favagineus, pokes its intimidating head out of a crevice in an Indonesian coral reef. This nocturnal eel is found throughout the Indo-Pacific region.

$Laced (or Honeycomb) Moray Gymnothorax favagineus is widespread in Indo-Pacific, often in holes with cleaner wrasses or shrimps. Males grow up to 3 m, so far of the two largest of Indo-Pacific morays. The blotches are variable between individuals and size, often in relation to habitat - those in clear coral reefs usually have proportionally less black than those found in turbid waters.\nLaced Moray feeds on cephalopods and small fishes. \n\nThere are reports of ciguatera, a foodborn illness, caused by bioaccumulation, a very heat-resistant toxicity who cannot be detoxified by conventional cooking. \n\nKraka Island, Banda Sea, Indonesia \n4°30'10.668 S 129°53'17.696 E at 9m depth$

$Yellow-edged Moray Gymnothorax flavimarginatus has a large distribution area: it occurs in the Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea and South Africa eastward to the Tuamoto and Austral islands, north to the Ryukyu and Hawaiian islands, south to New Caledonia and in the Eastern Pacific from Costa Rica, Panama to the Galapagos Islands. It also occurs in the Southeast Atlantic in South Africa. The depth range is from 0 to 150m, max. length is 240cm. \nYellow-edged Moray feeds on cephalopods, fishes, and crustaceans. Most often this Moray appears on the reef after a fish has been speared during daylight. The regularity and promptness of such appearances make it clear that this species is especially sensitive to stimuli emanating from an injured or stressed fish. Gymnothorax flavimarginatus is eaten in some parts of the Indo-Pacific.\nThe species is solitary and curious, usually seen with head protruding like this specimen, encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Nord Sulawesi, Indonesia. \n1°29'59.2418 N 125°15'40.7943 E at 26m depth$

$Ribbon Moray or Ribbon Eel Rhinomuraena quaesita occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from East Africa to the Tuamoto Islands, north to southern Japan, south to New Caledonia and French Polynesia, including Marianas and Marshalls in a depth range from 1 to 67m. max. length 130cm.\n\nAdults occur in lagoon and seaward reefs. The secretive species is normally hidden in sand or rubble, sometimes with only its head protruding, like this specimen. Rhinomuraena quaesita feeds on small fishes. \n\nJuveniles all black, males have yellow dorsal fin and females change to a nearly all yellow color, but usually with blue in the posterior. \n\nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°27'38.166 N 125°13'34.284 E at 20m depth$
