Leopard Moray Eel HAW
The Leopard moray eel is widespread throughout the Indo-Pacific oceans from Réunion to the Hawaiian, Line and Society Islands, north to southern Japan, southern Korea, and south to New Caledonia.
It inhabits coral and rocky reefs at depth range from 8 to 60 m.
Its length is up to 92 cm.
Being one of the larger eels, the Tessalata Eel requires a 180 gallon or larger aquarium with numerous rock crevices for hiding and a secure, tight-fitting lid to discourage its escape.
This eel is characterized by its narrow, curved jaws, vivid red stripes on the head, and elongated tubular nostrils.
Moray eels have muscles that are more like bungee-jumping cords, giving them the special ability to sling their pharyngeal jaws forward and backward. Moray teeth are sharp and curved, helping them hold onto large prey—other fishes, octopods, squids, and crabs.
