Whitemouth Moray
Gymnothorax meleagris
The whitemouth moray inhabits coral and rocky reefs across the tropical Indo-Pacific, usually sheltering in holes by day. It emerges to ambush fishes and crustaceans with swift bites from its long jaws. The pale interior of its mouth is a notable feature, contrasting sharply with its spotted body pattern.
