GIANT MORAY EEL
The Giant Moray Eel of the Gymonthorax Javanicus of the Muraenidae Family. They can grow as long as 10 feet with a weight of 66 pounds. Juveniles have tan color with large black spots while adults have black specks which allows them to blend in to their habitat which helps protect them from predators like barracudas, sharks and groupers. Though groupers have been known to hunt together, the grouper shakes its head to the moray eel signaling that it wants to team up and the moray eel traps fishes for the grouper.
This gentle giant is carnivorous feeding on fishes like wrasses, crustaceans and recently observed to hunt lionfishes. They are known to hunt by smell rather than sight. They have a Pharyngeal Jaw, a second set of teeth like in the aliens movie, that powerfully bites on to its prey and does not release until consumed.
They open and close their mouth because they rarely swim in open water so they need to actively force water over their gills. Nocturnal and a predator like the reef shark you do not want to mess with them even if they are harmless, for some reason humans tend to forget that the wild is the wild and feeding them or any species human food is discouraged, at any given day.
For the benefit of other divers, scuba or free divers, do not feed the eels, do not pester, do not engage. This goes for all other fishes who are naturally do not eat what humans eat, and as for the moray eels do not forget that although they are not as aggressive as the triggerfish, they will attack if caught unawares, pissed off or plainly accidentally just like your house cat.
