Dan Kirk's Snowflake Moray Eel

By Stan & Debbie Hauter, About.com Guide

Snowflake Moray Eel (Echidna nubulosa)

Dan Kirk
Although considered to be less-aggressive than other saltwater morays, the Snowflake Moray Eel can become very pugnacious at feeding time. With poor eyesight but a keen sense of smell, when food is detected it emerges from hiding and aggressively searches it out. In the wild, the Snowflake Moray Eel dines on small fish and crustaceans (Crabs and Shrimp).
