Description

The zebra moray, Gymnomuraena zebra, is a species of marine fish in the family Muraenidae. It is the only member of the genus Gymnomuraena.

The zebra moray eel is considered as a medium-sized fish even if it can reach a maximum length of 150 cm / 5 feet!

Its favorite habitat corresponds to the rocky or coral reef on coastal shallow water between 1 and 39 meters deep.

Zebra Moray has a nocturnal activity and actively hunt its prey. Unlike most other moray eels, it feeds almost exclusively on crustaceans, sea urchins and mollusks.

If you thought macro photography and animal photography is tough on land... try it underwater! :) It is hard... but rewarding, when you see photographs that turned out well, and you can offer the photos as wall art and home decor, for people to enjoy the underwater world.

Moray eels, or Muraenidae, are a family of eels whose members are found worldwide. There are approximately 200 species in 15 genera which are almost exclusively marine, but several species are regularly seen in brackish water.
