When polled about the scariest underwater creatures, many folks may list moray eels high on their list. However, the people who say that most likely have never met a white-eyed moray! White-eyes are one of the smaller species of moray and rarely reach more than 60cm in length. They typically inhabit a hole on sandy or rocky reefs and may often be found in groups. These inquisitive eels are shy at first but after a few moments they love to sniff any new objects in their personal space. In this photo, the lead moray is reaching out to inspect the dome port of the camera.
