Moray Eel

Moray eels Moray eels generally hide under coral heads or in holes during the daylight. They are curious by nature and can often be lured from their holes enough for the divers to get good looks or even "pet".

They look threatening, but this is undeserved reputation, which must constantly move their jaws open and closed to aid the flow of water over their gills. Moray eel skin is smooth as silk and viscose to the touch - if you're lucky enough to find one that tolerates touch.
