White-Mouth Moray Eel Video Stock Footage
The turkey moray is a medium size moray which can reach a maximum length of 120 cm, but specimens usually encountered are much smaller. Its serpentine in shape body has a dark brown to black background color dotted with numerous small white spots uniformly distributed. The inside of its mouth is completely white. It likes shallow waters from lagoons and reefs rich in coral and fish life until 36 meters (118 feet) deep, spending time in holes in the reef to quickly emerge to grasp passing fish by surprise attack. They sense prey by detecting smell through the water. Learn more about White-Mouth Moray Eel
