The Giant Moray (Gymnothorax javanicus) is a large and impressive species of moray eel that can grow up to 3 meters in length. Its body is covered in a pattern of brown and yellow spots, giving it a unique and recognizable appearance. Despite their fearsome reputation, these eels are not aggressive towards humans and are typically shy creatures that prefer to hide in crevices and holes in the reef. However, they can become aggressive if provoked or threatened. Giant Morays play an important role in the coral reef ecosystem as top predators, feeding on a variety of prey including fish, octopuses, and crustaceans.

$Laced (or Honeycomb) Moray Gymnothorax favagineus is widespread in Indo-Pacific, often in holes with cleaner wrasses or shrimps. Males grow up to 3 m, so far one of the two largest of Indo-Pacific morays. The blotches are variable between individuals and size, often in relation to habitat - those in clear coral reefs usually have proportionally less black than those found in turbid waters.\nLaced Moray feeds on cephalopods and small fishes. There are reports of ciguatera, a foodborn illness, caused by bioaccumulation, a very heat-resistant toxicity who cannot be detoxified by conventional cooking. \nBatu Kapal, Banda Sea, Indonesia, 4°30'42.42 S 129°53'20.484 E at 15m depth$

The White-eyed Moray (Siderea thyrsoidea) is a fascinating species of eel found in the warm waters of the Caribbean and western Atlantic. These moray eels are easily recognizable by their long, slender bodies, sharp teeth, and distinctive white eyes that contrast with their dark skin. They are often found hiding in crevices and caves of coral reefs, where they wait patiently for prey to swim by. Despite their fearsome appearance, white-eyed morays are not usually aggressive towards humans and are a sought-after species for divers and snorkelers to observe in their natural habitat.
