They spend most of their day in hiding holes, only when the night falls, wait patiently for the prey to pass and suddenly pounce.

Many cases of curious divers who want to discover Moray eels have been bitten off their fingers. The reason is due to poor eyesight, Moray eel thought wrong fingers are lucrative prey.

A special feature of this fish is that they take good care of their teeth thanks to the cleaning service of marine shrimp. So every time I see a bunch of sea shrimp gathering, it is very likely that a Moray eel will be nearby.

All Moray eels at birth are males, but in adulthood, some gradually convert their sex into females. During the "transgender" process , the color on the body also changes.

The giant Moray eel can even swim 6,500km to find the right mate. In this journey, they will use their own fat to maintain their energy.

The breeding season usually lasts from July to August each year, females will lay out thousands of eggs, hatch into larvae and float among the plank for a year before becoming sea eels.
