$The moray eel, a captivating resident of the Red Sea, Egypt, is a fascinating marine predator often spotted by divers exploring the region's vibrant coral reefs. Known for their elongated, serpentine bodies and sharp, protruding teeth, these eels are both striking and essential to the reef ecosystem.\n\nThe most common species in the Red Sea include the giant moray (Gymnothorax javanicus), which can grow up to 3 meters long, and the yellow-edged moray (Gymnothorax flavimarginatus). They are typically found hiding in crevices or coral structures during the day, with only their heads visible, waiting to ambush prey like fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods.\n\nDespite their fearsome appearance, moray eels are shy and non-aggressive unless provoked. They open and close their mouths frequently, not as a sign of aggression, but to breathe through their gills. Encounters are common at renowned dive sites like Ras Mohammed, the Brothers Islands, and Tiran Island.\n\nMoray eels also play a key role in the health of the reef by controlling prey populations and contributing to the intricate food web. However, divers are advised to respect their space and avoid sudden movements to ensure both human and animal safety.\n\nObserving a moray eel in its natural habitat is a thrilling experience, offering a glimpse into the Red Sea’s rich underwater world and its diverse marine life.$

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