Snowflake Moray Eel (Echidna nebulosa)

One of the smaller morays in the aquarium trade, the Snowflake Moray Eel (Echidna nebulosa), also known as the Bosch’s eel, the clouded moray eel, the floral moray eel, or the starry eel, is native to parts of the Pacific Ocean. Their distinct and ornate pattern make them a desirable choice for well-researched reef tanks with lots of hiding places. While they can become aggressive during feeding time, the Snowflake Moray is otherwise generally mellow and can coexist well with tankmates that can’t fit in their mouths!
