Ocellated Moray

Gymnothorax ocellatus

Ocellated Moray

The adult ocellated moray lives among tropical reef ledges, coral cavities, and rocky bottoms. It is mainly nocturnal, ambushing fishes and crustaceans from cover with a rapid bite. Like other morays, it has a second set of pharyngeal jaws that helps pull prey deeper into the throat.
